Quote from datarecovee on November 11, 2025, 8:58 amTo distinguish discrete and continuous, answer of this question whether the variable has distinct and separate values (then it is discrete) or the variable can have any value in a range, including fractions, decimals (then it is continuous). An illustration is shoe size which could be discrete, whereas body weight could be continuous. When you understand whether your data is discrete or continuous then you will be sure that you will be visualising and analysing it properly. I hope this clears your confusion of discrete vs continuous.
