Answer: Qualitative data set

Explanation:

  • The quantitative data deals with numbers and elements we count or measure such as: dimensions such as height, width, and length.
  • The qualitative data deals with characteristics and descriptors that can't be counted or measured, but can be observed by its quality such as color, tastes and smell.

The given sentence :- “the hair color of the presidents of the United States”

Since color is express the quality of the hair but not the quantity.

Therefore, the given data set is a qualitative data set.
