2. Define the terms qualitative and quantitative data and indicate which of the two types the following data represent: a. Sex b. Race c. Weight

Solution

Answer:-

Qualitative data is information about qualities, you cannot count it. It describes how people feel about something.

Quantitative data is information you can measure. It is numbers, that is, something you can count. Since it is countable, it can be reliable evidence.

Sex and race are qualitative data whereas weight is quantitative since you can present weight in numerical form.
