Qualitative data is information that is not in numerical form.

what is 200049 in numerical form
What is 3800 million in numerical form?
3800 million in standard numerical form is 3,800,000,000
What are examples of data a qualitative observations b theories c quantitative observations d measurements?
Data is the raw material used for collating information to represent the qualitative or quantitative attributes of a variable or variables. Valid data can be gathered using carefully controlled observations or measurements. Qualitative observations are observations which can not be recorded numerically, they are qualities rather than quantities. Examples of qualitative observations are colour, type of material or taste. These observations may form the basis of information representing the attributes of a variable and as such they are data. Some may argue that qualitative observations are not always data as they may be observations of opinion rather than fact, I disagree with this argument. The true definition of a theory is a well-substantiated explanation or a well organized system of accepted knowledge that applies in a variety of circumstances to explain a specific set of phenomena. A theory may also be defined as an unproven conjecture. The use of the the word theory to mean a statement of opinion which cannot be substantiated is technically a colloquialism and should be disregarded. Data are often viewed as the lowest level of abstraction from which information and knowledge are derived. As a theory is a system of accepted knowledge and knowledge is derived from data this suggests that a theory can not be data. Quantitative observations are observations which can be recorded numerically, they are quantities rather than qualities, such as shoe size, time, length or number of people. As with quantitative data, these observations may form the basis of information representing the attributes of a variable and as such they are data. Measurement of any quantity such as length, speed or pressure is the name given the process of estimating or determining the magnitude of a quantity or variable. Measurements by definition are representations of the attributes of a variable and as such they are data. Therefore a, c and d are data and b is not. Theories are not an example of data.
What is the difference between facts and statistics?
A statistic is a number or a fraction or any form of numerical data. A fact is an accepted theory or idea that can be proven.
