Continuous variation in height Discontinuous variation. 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc). Discrete vs. 15 Qs . They can be further categorised into NOMINAL (naming variables where one category is no better than another e.g. Discrete data contains distinct or separate values. See the answer. Discrete and Continuous Random Variable . 20 Qs . 1.4k plays . Race is a nominal categorical variable. Discrete data is countable while continuous data is measurable. This problem has been solved! Continuous Graphs . if we assign 1 for female and 0 for a male then these value (1,0) are discrete. A characteristic of any species with only a limited number of possible values shows discontinuous variation. 10 Qs . The difference between discrete and continuous data can be drawn clearly on the following grounds: Discrete data is the type of data that has clear spaces between values. Continuous Graphs & Domain vs. On purpose, I made it sound distinct that a variable is either discrete or continuous. discrete or continuous . Simple, Compound & Complex Sentences . 4.2k plays . Continuous data is data that falls in a continuous sequence. Discrete vs. CATEGORICAL VARIABLES: variables such as gender with limited values. 25 Qs . hair colour) and ORDINAL, (where there is some order to the categories e.g. 684 plays . Gender and State are examples of which type of data? 2.2k plays . 424 plays . Discrete vs Continous data . Example gender can be male or female. Discrete Variables: The variables which take distinct integer values like 0,1 etc. To help see the difference between continuous and discrete variables, imagine a really tall mountain with a trail leading up to the top. Range . 661 plays . Question: Gender And State Are Examples Of Which Type Of Data? Gender: Discrete: Categorical: Gender as Binary 1/0 Coding: Discrete: Categorical: True/False: Discrete: Categorical: Phone Number: Discrete: Nominal: Area Code: Discrete: Nominal : Rating on 1 to 5 Scale: Continuous: Ordinal: Player Ranking: Continuous: Ordinal: Next Steps. A.Categorical Data B.Continuous Data C.Discrete Data D.Ordinal Data . The terms discrete and continuous only apply to interval or ratio variables. Statistics and Probability, AP Statistics . 11 Qs . CONTINUOUS (SCALE) VARIABLES: Measurements on a proper scale such as age, height etc.
