A good example would be integers. Also, a collection of numbers such as (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, ...) or (0, 10, 20, 40, 50, 80, ...). Actually, I believe the term "discrete" is applied to math with certain types of numbers, not to the numbers themselves. The general idea is that a certain variable can have some specific values (for example, integers), but no numbers in between.

Are rational numbers continuous or discrete?
They are continuous.
Can a discrete variable be measured?
Yes, using whole numbers.
What does discrete function mean?
Discrete Function - A function that is defined only for a set of numbers that can be listed, such as the set of whole numbers or the set of integers. Explicit Definition - A definition of a function by a formula in terms of the variable.
What do you call a set of numbers with an exact number of points?
This is called a discrete set (all points isolated) or a finite set. Finite sets are always discrete.
What is discrete in statistic?
Data that are countable values (does not need to be whole numbers). For example, 1/2, 1, 1 1/2, 2, 2 1/2, etc are discrete.
The binomial and Poisson distributions are examples of discrete probability distributions?
discrete & continuous
Are rational numbers continuous or discrete?
They are continuous.
How many numbers are between 1 and 2?
0 discrete numbers , infanite contimuous numbers
What are 3 examples of discrete variation in humans?
From a purist point of view, there is probably only a few true examples of discrete variation in humans. However, we have the common sense practical real world ways to describe some things as discrete. A coma scale used, Glasgow, is discrete. Also, vision is expressed as discrete values. See attached related links. In addition, number of seizures is discrete along with pulse (heart) rate.
Can a discrete variable be measured?
Yes, using whole numbers.
What does discrete mean?
When used in the context of math, discrete refers to values where there is space on the number line between any two values. For example, the possible sums of the numbers of two dice are discrete. Temperature is not discrete. I believe that when using the term discrete that the numbers on a graph/ Row have to be redivided if possible Discrete means individually recognizable and countable, distinct and separate from the similar items, finite and non-continuous.
How do discrete and continuous data relate to quantitative data?
discrete data can only be whole numbers whereas continuous can be fractions decimals don't necessary have to be counting numbers as we know them. 1,2,3...
Is hair color a discrete or continuous variable?
It is continuous, since there are unlimited numbers of shades between blonde, red, brown, and black.
Are negative numbers discrete random variables?
Discrete variables must be countable and not negative. So no a negative number must be a continuous variable.
What does discrete function mean?
Discrete Function - A function that is defined only for a set of numbers that can be listed, such as the set of whole numbers or the set of integers. Explicit Definition - A definition of a function by a formula in terms of the variable.
Are integers discrete?
Yes, integers are discrete. Real and rational numbers have a special property that we can find another one of them between any two. This is what makes them NOT discrete. Between any two integers, say 1 and 2, we cannot find another integer. They are discrete.Things we can count are discrete. For example, the number of questions answered during the answerthon is discrete. Temperature is not discrete.
What are some examples of discrete variable?
number of students in class,1 dozen oranges
