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=1, B=2, C=3, and D=4. Are the data consisting of the classifications A, B, C, and D active or quantitative? After the data are input as 1, 2, 3, or 4, are they qualitative or quantitative? Are the data consisting of the classifications A, B, C, and D qualitative or quantitative? Qualitative, because they are measured on a naturally occurring numerical scale Qualitative, because they can only be classified into categories. Quantitative, because they can only be classified into categories Quantitative, because they are measured on a naturally occurring numerical scale After the data are input as 1, 2, 3, or 4, are they qualitative or quantitative? Qualitative, because they are measured on a naturally occurring numerical scale. Quantitative, because they are measured on a naturally occurring numerical scale. Qualitative, because they cannot be meaningfully added, subtracted, multiplied, or divided. Quantitative, because they cannot be meaningfully added, subtracted, multiplied, or divided.

Explanation / Answer

1. Since A B C D are alphabets, the classification is qualitative. So answer is B

2. Since 1 2 3 4 are numbers, the classification is quantitative so answer is B
