Study Notes

The text discusses the difference between two types of data: quantitative and qualitative.
Quantitative data is numerical data that can be counted or measured.
Discrete numerical data is based on whole numbers or zero, and cannot have any number in between (e.g. eight cats).
Continuous numerical data can be measured and doesn't have to be an integer or whole number (e.g. distance between two points).
Qualitative data is descriptive data based on observations and uses words to describe it.
Qualitative data can be descriptive based on the five senses (visual, tactile, taste, auditory, and olfactory).
Examples of qualitative data include: the texture of the cat's fur being rough, the color of the cat's fur being black, Michael's height being six feet, and the volume of a sound being low or high.
Quantitative data deals with numbers and measurement, while qualitative data deals with words and descriptions.
