Question

Suppose​ you're given a data set that classifies each sample unit into one of four​ categories: A,​ B, C, or D. You plan to create a computer database consisting of these​ data, and you decide to code the data as A Equals​1, B Equals​2, Equals​3, and Dequals4. Are the data consisting of the classifications​ A, B,​ C, and D qualitative or​ quantitative?

Answer 1

The data is qualitative.

Explanation:

The data is qualitative because they can only be classified into the four categories and they cannot be measured on a numerical scale. Therefore, we know the data is qualitative.
