What is the difference between discrete data and continuous data?

Discrete variables have numbers that can be counted. Continuous data is measurable. Discrete data are data which can only take on a finite or countable number of values within a given range. Continuous data are data which can take on any value. It is measured rather than counted. The mass of a given sample of iron is continuous; the number of marbles in a bag is discrete.


Does the mean have to be one of the data values?

What is the difference between ordinal and nominal data?

Ordinal data has an inherent order, i.e. ranking, in its possible values. For example 'poor, fair, good, excellent' is ordinal becaused there is an assumption that the four possible values are higher from one to the next. It can be coded as 1,2,3,4 but there is no assumption of equal spacing. Nominal data has no inherent ranking, only labeling-e.g. 'apple, strawberry, orange'. The choices are three levels with no assumed value. Any numerical coding does not reflect any quantitative meaning. Georgette Asherman, Direct Effects, LLC
