When you conduct a study, you ask questions or take measurements that produce data (unprocessed
information collected from a study).
The graph used depends on the number of variables (quantities being measured) and the types of data.
There are different data types:
1. Discrete or Continuous
2. Ordinal, Categorical or Interval
Discrete - can only have certain separate values Continuous - any value in a given range
E.g. usually integers (counted values) E.g. time, distance (measured values)
