Discrete vs Continuous Varaibles

The main difference between qualitative and quantitative data is that qualitative data is descriptive while quantitative data is numerical. For example, qualitative data are gender, country, city, nationality, etc. while quantitative data are length, width, height, weight, area, speed, age, etc. Furthermore, quantitative data can be either discrete data (countable data such as number of vehicles, number of students, etc.) or continuous data (measurable data such as height, weight, etc.).

I'm getting wrapped around data types and I need some help: If you look at the picture above (taken from here), it has the data types like this: Quantitative (Discrete, Continuous) Qualitative (
