Qualitative vs Quantitative Observations Practice

Is the information collected during the survey numerical or categorical data?

• Numerical data. I know this because the y-axis is labeled with numbers. 

• Numerical data. I know this because the surveyor counted how many people that they surveyed. 

• Categorical data. I know this because the responses to the survey are names. 

• Categorical data. I know this because each column is a different color. 

If your teacher asked you to make categorical observations about the class’s pet hamster, which group of words might be used?

• A mass of 3 kg, 11 cm long, age of 16 months

• A mass of 3 kg, 11 cm long, cute

• A long hair, white and brown colored, soft

• A temperature, length, weight
