Quantitative or numerical data are numbers, and that way they 'impose' an order. Examples are age, height, weight.
so, a person height in inches is numerical
Since hairs are something we can count, this is a discrete random variable.
so, hairs on a persons head is discrete
Temperature Fahrenheit of a cup of coffee is continuous (continuous variables can have an infinite number of possible values)
