Continuous vs. Discrete: Finding Domain and Range Review
We will have to determine and write domain and range differently depending if the data is discrete or continuous (click each below
to toggle between examples):
Example 1: Discrete Data
Consider the following set of data: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Domain: The domain is the set of all possible input values. In this case, the data is discrete and consists of specific numbers. Therefore, the domain is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}.
Range: The range is the set of all possible output values. Again, since the data is discrete and consists of specific numbers, the range is also {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}.
Example 2: Continuous Data
Consider the following set of data: [0, 10]
Domain: The domain is the set of all possible input values. In this case, the data is continuous and represents a range of values from 0 to 10. Therefore, the domain is [0, 10].
Range: The range is the set of all possible output values. Since the data is continuous and represents a range of values, the range is also [0, 10].
