  • Card 3 / 4:
    Data

    A set of observations (a set of possible outcomes). Most data can be put into two groups: qualitative (hair color, ethnic groups and other attributes of the population) and quantitative (distance traveled to college, number of children in a family, etc.). Quantitative data can be separated into two subgroups: discrete and continuous . Data is discrete if it is the result of counting (the number of students of a given ethnic group in a class, the number of books on a shelf, etc.). Data is continuous if it is the result of measuring (distance traveled, weight of luggage, etc.)
