OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont even know the meaning of discrete and continuous

myininaya (myininaya):

think if you can count it, then it is discrete if you can't count it, then it is continuous

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and i have one more doubt. can i aski

myininaya (myininaya):

Example you can't count weight so weight is continuous Example you can count the number of students in your class so that is discrete

myininaya (myininaya):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is weight and the mass same

myininaya (myininaya):

mass is a weight unit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://www.mathsisfun.com/data/data-discrete-continuous.html you might like this site's description more like they say discrete can be counted and continuous can be measured

myininaya (myininaya):

like temperature,weight, and volume are all things that are measured

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):
