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.

Is IQ a discrete variable?

Yes, because they are calculated as integers.


What are the advantages and disadvantages transforming of continuous data into either discrete or ordinal data?

1.) Discrete: restricted to integers; ordinal subjective


Is the set of all negative integers discrete?

Yes, because it is countably infinite.


Is Z with the discrete topology a compact topological space?

A discrete topology on the integers, Z, is defined by letting every subset of Z be open If that is true then Z is a discrete topological space and it is equipped with a discrete topology. Now is it compact? We know that a discrete space is compact if and only if it is finite. Clearly Z is not finite, so the answer is no. If you picked a finite field such a Z7 ( integers mod 7) then the answer would be yes.


Is the binomial distribution is a continuous distribution?

No it is a "discrete" distribution because the outcomes can only be integers.


The number of brothers and sisters in your family represents what kind of distribution discrete or continuos?

Discrete. The number of brothers or sisters can only be integers (leaving aside half-brothers!).


Does discrete math incorporate concepts from calculus?

No, discrete math does not incorporate concepts from calculus. Discrete math focuses on mathematical structures that are distinct and separate, such as integers, graphs, and sets, while calculus deals with continuous functions and limits.


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 is a discontinuous variable?

A discontinuous variable is a variable that has distinct categories. Blood type is a good example. You could be A, B, AB or O. This contrasts with a continuous variable such as height or weight, where there are an almost infinite number of possible values. Data for discontinuous variables is usually represented using a bar graph or pie chart, but never a scatter graph.


What are examples of discrete numbers?

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.


What is discrete and continuous in math?

These terms describe functions.A continuous function looks like a straight line or a curve, depending on if it is linear or quadratic.A discrete function looks like dots on a number line, only covering the integers, instead of numbers in between.


Can discrete signals have fractional periods?

No, discrete signals cannot have fractional periods. In signal processing, a period is defined as the smallest positive integer ( N ) such that ( x[n+N] = x[n] ) for all integer values of ( n ). Since the signal is discrete, it can only repeat at integer multiples of the period. Fractional periods would imply a non-integer number of samples between repetitions, which is not possible in discrete signals.
