Exploring Quantitative And Qualitative Data Types

The video tutorial explains the two main types of data: quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative data is numerical and can be further divided into discrete data, which is countable, and continuous data, which is measurable. Qualitative data is descriptive and based on observations, often involving the five senses. The video provides examples and a quiz to help viewers distinguish between these data types.
