Study Notes

  • The text discusses two types of data: quantitative and qualitative.
  • Quantitative data is numerical data and can be further divided into discrete and continuous forms.
  • Discrete data is based on counting whole numbers or zero, and cannot have numbers in between (e.g. eight cats).
  • Continuous data is based on measurement and can have any number in between (e.g. distance between two points).
  • Qualitative data is descriptive data based on observations and uses words to describe it (e.g. color, texture, taste).
  • Examples of qualitative data include visual (color), tactile (soft or hard), auditory (volume), and olfactory (smell good or bad).
  • To determine if data is quantitative or qualitative, if quantitative, determine if it's discrete or continuous based on counting or measurement.
