Question

Differentiate between individual, discrete and continuous series.

Answer 1

Difference between individual, discrete and continuous series is as follows.

$\begin{array}{ccc}\text{Individual Series}& \text{Discrete Series}& \text{Continuous Series}\\ \text{In individual series, there is only}& \text{In case of discrete series, there is frequency}& \text{In case of continuous series, there is frequency}\\ \text{one frequency for each item.}& \text{of more than one for each item.}& \text{of more than one for each item.}\\ \text{Individual series has one column}& \text{In discrete there are two columns, one for frequency}& \text{In continuous series also, there are two columns}\\ \text{and that is of observations.}& \text{and second for variable. Variable is a number.}& \text{as in discrete series but variable is in the form of a class.}\\ \text{Values are given after a}& \text{Values are given after a}& \text{Values are in the form of groups.}\\ \text{definite break.}& \text{definite break.}& \end{array}$
