Discrete vs Continuous Data Sets Explained

What is the main focus of the video?

• The importance of graphs

• The history of data sets

• How to bake cupcakes

• The difference between discrete and continuous data sets

In the first example, what is the independent variable?

• Time

• Number of cupcakes sold

• Money earned

• Distance traveled

Why can't Charlie earn $1.50 in the cupcake example?

• Because he sells cupcakes for $2 each

• Because he doesn't sell half cupcakes

• Because he gives away free cupcakes

• Because he only sells whole cakes

What type of data set is represented by the cupcake sales example?

• Discrete

• Mixed

• Undefined

• Continuous

In the second example, what is being compared on the x-axis?

• Speed

• Distance traveled

• Number of steps

• Time

How far does Alex walk in 2 seconds?

• 4 meters

• 2 meters

• 6 meters

• 8 meters

What type of data set is represented by Alex's walking example?

• Discrete

• Continuous

• Mixed

• Undefined

Why do we connect the points on the graph for the walking example?

• To make the graph look nicer

• To show that the data is discrete

• To highlight specific points

• To show that we can determine a distance for any given time

What is the speed at which Alex is walking?

• 1 meter per second

• 2 meters per second

• 3 meters per second

• 4 meters per second

Why don't we connect the points on the graph for the cupcake sales example?

• Because there are too many points

• Because it looks better

• Because the data is discrete

• Because the data is continuous
