Question

Tell whether the data are qualitative or quantitative.

colors of houses on a street
o qualitative
O quantitative

Answer 1

Qualitative

Explanation:

When data is quantitative, it is describing a numerical amount. For example, if the data was "the amount of houses on the street that have a garage," then the data would be quantitative since it is representing an amount (the amount of houses.) For data to be qualitative, it should be representing a quality of some kind. For example, a qualitative sample of data could be, "scents of perfumes in a store," or, "flavors of ice cream in a diner." Since our initial data is representing a quality and not a numerical amount, the data is qualitative!
