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.
