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.
They are continuous.
Yes, using whole numbers.
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.
This is called a discrete set (all points isolated) or a finite set. Finite sets are always discrete.
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.
discrete & continuous
They are continuous.

Yes, using whole numbers.
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...
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.
Discrete variables must be countable and not negative. So no a negative number must be a continuous variable.

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.

Don't know what "this" is, but all symmetric distributions are not normal. There are many distributions, discrete and continuous that are not normal. The uniform or binomial distributions are examples of discrete symmetric distibutions that are not normal. The uniform and the beta distribution with equal parameters are examples of a continuous distribution that is not normal. The uniform distribution can be discrete or continuous.
