Discrete Data
Continuous data can be measured on a continuum. Think of it as being able to divide a measure by one half, and in half again, and in half again, – to infinity. Contrast continuous data with discrete data where there are only a finite number of values possible or if there is a space on the number line between two possible values. For example, it’s impossible to roll the 2.3 on a roll of the dice. You can either roll a two or three but nothing in between.
