Answer:

Quantitative data

Explanation:

Data that can be represented in digits are referred to as quantitative data while data that are in categories or grouped are referred to as categorical data.

A breakdown is:

Quantitative-> Digits e.g. 20, 45

Categorical -> Groups and categories e.g. sex, level, etc.

We understand that weekly wage is represented in digits.

e.g.

The weekly wage of A factory worker is $500.......

From the above example, the wage ($500) is expressed in digits.

The analysis above shows that weekly wage is a quantitative data.
