Question

Determine whether the data desCribed are qualitative or quantitative and give their level of measurement If the data are quantitative, state whether they are continuous or discrete. Soft drink sizes: small, medium, large. OA. Qualitative, nominal O B. Qualitative, ordinal- O C. Quantitative, ordinal, discrete O D. Quantitative, ordinal

Answer 1

Option C

Quantitative, ordinal, discrete

Explanation:

The data set will be quantitative because to measure and analyze it, we will have to count the soft drinks of the various sizes.

Once data is counted to determine the quantity that falls into a particular category, the analysis is quantitative.

The data set will also be ordinal, because we are classifying t using a scale of small medium and large. Once scales can be assigned to a data set to quantify it, it becomes ordinal.

The data set is also discrete because only distinct whole numbers can be used to enumerate the cans. The data is not continuous. this means that you can either count one can or two cans; never half a can of the soft drink
