Answer:


\boxed {\tt False}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's define quantitative data.

Quantitative data is

  • Data that can be expressed as a number or a quantity. This type of data can be measured, for example: length, temperature, time, etc.

There is also another kind of data, called qualitative data.

Qualitative data is

  • Data that is expressed with descriptions. This type of data is observed. Examples include: colors, smells, tastes, etc.

We are asked about color and movie genre. This can't be measured or expressed as a number, so it is not quantitative data. Instead, it is qualitative data.
