Detailed explanation-1: -Discrete data is a type of quantitative data that includes nondivisible figures and statistics you can count. You typically write discrete data points as numbers that represent exact values. You can often describe discrete data by using the phrase “the number of, ” such as the number of customers in a store.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is Discrete Data? Discrete data also referred to as discrete values, is data that only takes certain values. Commonly in the form of whole numbers or integers, this is data that can be counted and has a finite number of values.
Detailed explanation-3: -Discrete data is countable while continuous-measurable. To accurately represent discrete data, the bar graph is used. Histogram or line graphs are used to represent continuous data graphically.
Detailed explanation-4: -Discrete data are a type of quantitative data that can take only fixed values. They are always numerical. These are data that can be counted, but not measured.
Detailed explanation-5: -Discrete data is information that can only take certain values. These values don’t have to be whole numbers (a child might have a shoe size of 3.5 or a company may make a profit of £3456.25 for example) but they are fixed values – a child cannot have a shoe size of 3.72!
