What is a key difference between discrete and continuous data?
Discrete data can be measured while continuous data can only be counted.
Discrete data can only be whole numbers; continuous data can take decimal values.
Discrete data can take on any value within a range; continuous data is restricted to specific values.
Discrete data can be measured, while continuous data cannot be measured.
Explanation
Discrete data is counted and typically involves whole numbers, unlike continuous data that can be measured on a scale.
