Continuous vs. Discrete Samples

Sample data is either continuous or discrete. Continuous sample data can take on any value over a continuous range, while discrete data is limited to integer values. Discrete data can be entered in two formats. In the "standard" format, you enter each data point individually. In the "counted" format, the data is entered in pairs, where the first value is the sampled value and the second is the number of samples drawn with that value.
