Starting Probability & Stats with 11th grade today. Brought in some cereal examples to try to explain the difference between continuous and discrete data. Remember: one kind can be counted and the other measured. Spoon Size Shredded Wheat is the best kind of cereal to demonstrate the clunk, clunk, clunk of discrete data hitting the bowl. But, as mentioned previously, when it comes to food, you take what you can get around here. Eat up!
