Discrete and Continuous Data

Quantitative data can be divided into two types, discrete and continuous data.In this video you will learn the differences between discrete and continuous data.

Transcript
Welcome to MooMooMath where we upload a new Math video everyday.
In this video I would like to talk about two types of quantitative data.
Discrete and Continuous
Discrete data is data that has distinguishable spaces between values.
Often it is data that is counted.
On a graph the ordered pairs are at specific locations, so the graph is not connected, but only points
Some examples of discrete data include,
Dogs
People
Tickets you have for a show.
Continuous data is data that falls on a continuum.
On a graph it is all of the points, and the points in between.
It is data that can be measured as finely as possible.
It is often a physical measure.
Discreet data will often will contain fractions or decimals.
Some examples of continuous data include,
Time
Age
Height
Weight
Let's look at two examples and see the differences between these types of data.
Family Members
Discrete 5 family members
Continuous: Range between 5 feet and 6 feet tall
Books, books on your book shelf.
The discreet data is that you have 6 books on your bookshelf.
Continuous data is that they range in height from 15 to 30 cm in length

Discrete or not?

Age of the cows on the farm continuous

Number of points scored in a game. discrete
Amount of oxygen in the atmosphere continuous

amazing and resourceful video but could you please lower volume of music in background

Thank you for these videos. You've made them so easy to understand and learn. Can't say the same about my professor who just knows how to tag a website with what they can't explain.

I'm taking college stats! The way you explain things helps a lot. Thankful for your work!

[ozgamerab]

A good way to record continuous data is to round it off to a certain extent

[jasonhunter]

This is the best video i have found on the topic. Took me 12 videos to get here. Thank you sir

[navyaunnikrishnan]

Was unable to solve cases without knowing the difference between both before watching the video.My concept is clear after watching. 😊😊😊Thanks
