What are some examples of quantitative data?
Quantitative data is data that measures quantity, as opposed to qualitative data which describes quality. Some examples of quantitative data pertaining to weather would be: measurements of precipitation, records of number of days per month without precipitation, percentage of the chance of precipitation, records of daily high temperatures.
What is the difference between quantitative and qualitative data?
A qualitative datum is one that is expressed as some quality/property of a particular entity, rather than a numerical value. Conversely, a quantitative datum is one that is expressed as a quantity (or number), as opposed to a quality of a particular entity. Hence, qualitative and quantitative data are essentially opposite data types.
What is the meaning of quantitative data in math terms?
It is numerical information about some characteristic. By contrast, qualitative data might be something like the colour of your eyes, or the name of your maths teacher.
What is a set of numerical data?
In statistics numerical data is quantitative rather than qualitative.
Would data set on ethnic groups be a qualitative variable?
Some variables in the data set might be qualitative, others might not. For example, if one were to sample newly arrived immigrants to Toronto, Canada and create a data set of information about them one could include both qualitative and quantitative data. One might measure each person's height which would be quantitative, and observe each person's eye colour, which would be qualitative.
