A discrete variable.
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.
It is data that can be used in a chart. It can be values that are in cells in a worksheet.
a piece of data that keeps changing like someones height or shoe size. * * * * * NO. Continuous data are those that can take all possible values within some given range (which may be infinite), or set of ranges. Discrete data, on the other hand, can only take values from a set (again, possibly infinite). These are usually integer values, but not necessarily so. Height is a continuous variable, but shoe size is a discrete variable.
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.
