Is a mass of something a continuous or discrete variable?
Mass is a continuous variable. It's the measure of resistance an object has to changing its velocity and can be any positive value. Compare to discrete variables which are only whole numbers. For example, on Earth a bag of flour with a mass of 1.5 kilograms weighs 14.709975 newtons, both of which are continuous variables. It is only 1 bag of flour though, which is a discrete variable. To extend the consideration, while the 1 bag could be cut in half, there would then be 2 bags (2 half-bags, 2 bag halves) each with .75 kg of flour. It could be said that generally things that are measured (time, distance, height, weight) are continuous and generally things that are counted (people, cars, cups, bags) are discrete. It's possible to linguistically muddle the distinction though.
Data refers to things that can be counted.?
Data is data. Data can be generated, manipulated, sorted, misanalysed, counted, correlated, etc. Data is a general term for information of various sorts. A hand written address (little black) book is data. Yes data can be counted amongst other things.
Does scatter analysis use data that is counted in six sigma?
yes
Where the number of things counted would be more than six digit numbers?
Whenever there are a million or more items.
How many visitors does Yukon receive per year?
In 2009, the ministry of Tourism and Culture counted 282 874 visitors in the Yukon.
Is number of purchase made in a month a discrete or continuous variable?
Discrete as you cannot have half a purchase and do not need to use a measuring device.- Discrete : Information that is counted or measured in distinct separate units eg. kids in a family, books on a shelf- Continuous : Information measured along a continuous scale, requiring a measuring device eg. height, temperature, mass
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.
What are values that have been measured or counted?
They are data.
Which type of data refers to things that can be counted?
A quantitative variable is numeric and therefore can be counted discretely or continuously. The other side of the spectrum is qualitative variables.
