Salary of a group of people is continuous or discrete I have salary data of 3000 employees ranging from 3000 - 10000 dollars.
Based on my understanding:(https://mathbitsnotebook.com/Algebra1/FunctionGraphs/FNGContinuousDiscrete.html)


*

*Continuous data is a set of data if the values belonging to the set can take on ANY value within a finite or infinite interval.

*Discrete data is a set of data if the values belonging to the set are distinct and separate (unconnected values).


If I apply the above definition to my data set,

*

*The salary of the group can take any value within a finite or
infinite interval.

*The salary of each individual in the group is also distinct and
separate.

I am new to this and quite confused here. I understand the basic difference that continuous is measured and discrete is counted.
But is the salary of the group continuous or discrete?

Go back to the definition of what is meant by a discrete and what is meant by a continuous random variable. It also helps to know that the real line is dense and asking whether it is possible that somebody gets paid a figure strictly between \$200.15 and \$200.16.
