discrete data

In mathematics, data that can take only whole-number or fractional values, that is, distinct values. The opposite is continuous data, which can take all in-between values. Examples of discrete data include frequency and population data. However, measurements of time and other dimensions can give rise to continuous data.

Discrete data can take only certain values; for example, the types of cars in a car park, and the number of apples on an apple tree. The data can be collected by observation, experiment, data logging, questionnaires, or surveys. Often it is practical to arrange the data as grouped data.
