Answer:

A discrete quantitative variable is one that can only take specific numeric values (rather than any value in an interval)

Explanation:

A discrete quantitative variable is one that can only take specific numeric values (rather than any value in an interval), but those numeric values have a clear quantitative interpretation. Examples of discrete quantitative variables are number of needle punctures, number of pregnancies and number of hospitalizations.
