Explanation;

-Quatitative data are anything that can be expressed as a number, or quantified. Examples of quantitative data are scores on achievement tests,number of hours of study, or weight of a subject. These data may be represented by ordinal, interval or ratio scales and lend themselves to most statistical manipulation.

-Qualitative data on the other hand, cannot be expressed as a number. Data that represent nominal scales such as gender, social economic status, religious preference are usually considered to be qualitative data.
