A continuous function allows the x-values to be ANY points in the interval, including fractions, decimals, and irrational values. A discrete function allows the x-values to be only certain points in the interval, usually only integers or whole numbers.: Graph the continuous function: y = x 2 for all Reals.
Discrete data can take on only integer values whereas continuous data can take on any value. For instance the number of cancer patients treated by a hospital each year is discrete but your weight is continuous.Some data are continuous but measured in a discrete way e.g. your age.iscrete data can be numeric -- like numbers of apples -- but it can also be categorical -- like red or blue, or male or female, or good or bad. Continuous data are not restricted to defined separate values, but can occupy any value over a continuous range.
