What is the meaning of discrete and continuous data?
In: Mathematics
Picture a Sine wave, draw it on a graph. Along the length of the Sine wave, put 10 equally spaced tick marks on the axis. At each tick mark, put a dot on the Sine wave. Continuous data is the Sine wave you drew with an infinite amount of points. Now if you erase the line you drew and leave the dots and connect them with straight lines, that is discretely sampled data.
