Explanation

Discrete data consists of countable, distinct whole-number values with no meaningful values in between - you can sell 100 or 101 tickets, but not 100.5. The number of tickets sold is a classic example of discrete quantitative data. Continuous data can take any value within a range (e.g., temperature, weight). Ordinal data has a meaningful order but no consistent interval between values (e.g., customer satisfaction ratings). Nominal data represents categories with no inherent order (e.g., ticket type names). Because tickets are counted in whole units, the data is discrete.
