Question
question 10 of 16 step 1 of 1
(a) scores, reported as whole numbers, of research scientists are an example of which type of data?
answer
neither
discrete
continuous
Discrete data consists of distinct, separate values that can only take specific whole number values, not fractions. IQ scores reported as whole numbers fit this definition, as they cannot take values between two whole numbers (e.g., you cannot have an IQ of 100.5 in this reporting format). Continuous data can take any value within a range, which does not apply here.
