Answer 11

Continuous data usually requires a measuring device. (Ruler, stop watch, thermometer, speedometer, etc.).
Discrete data is counted.
In the graph of a continuous function, the points are connected with a continuous line, since every point has meaning to the original problem.
In the graph of a discrete function, only separate, distinct points are plotted, and only these points have meaning to the original problem.
