Discrete Series
A Discrete Series is a statistical representation of data points that are distinct and separate from one another. This type of series is often used to display counts or frequencies of specific categories, such as the number of students in different grade levels or the number of cars sold by model. Each value in a discrete series is an individual count, making it easy to analyze and interpret.
In contrast to continuous data, which can take any value within a range, discrete data only includes whole numbers or specific values. Examples of discrete series include age groups, test scores, and number of pets owned. This clear separation of values helps in organizing and summarizing data effectively.
