Document Summary

The values of a variable for one or more people or things yield data. Each individual piece of data is called an observation, and the collection of all observations is called a data set: counting the number of siblings in a family is an example of a discrete quantitative variable. The weight of a newborn baby is an example of a continuous quantitative variable: true or false. Since most statistical procedures are valid for any type of data, it is not too important that you are able to classify the data false: true or false. The bars in a bar chart do not touch because the quantitative values represented on the horizontal axis aren"t all the same false: true or false. So the two are very different: they look almost identical. The only difference is the scale on the vertical axis. For a frequency histogram, the vertical axis is a count.
