Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A continuous quantitative variable is one that can take on any value in a given range. In this case, the amount of milk produced by a cow in one 24-hour period can take on any value, making it a continuous variable. The other options are not continuous as they are either categorical (color of eyes, number of employees) or discrete (number of gallons of milk sold).
