Sort the statements according to whether they represent qualitative or quantitative data. Qualitative Students in the front of the classroom like homework more than students in the back. The control subject showed no change in weight during the experiment. Quantitative Red roses have the strongest scent of any color rose. Body temperature over 37 degrees Celsius indicates a fever.

00:01 Which of the following variables are qualitative and which are quantitative and then which qualitative variables are nominal or ordinal and which quantitative variables are discrete or continuous.

00:20 So number 1, time to finish an examination.

00:36 So our first four examples are all quantitative.

00:44 So time to finish an examination, amount of water in a glass, master card number, and the number of students in a class of 32 who turn in assignments on time.

00:54 Those are all quantitative.

00:56 So now to determine whether it's discrete or continuous.

01:01 So time to finish an exam and amount of water in a glass would be continuous, whereas the master card number would be an example of discrete and the number of students in a class who turn in assignments on time.

01:22 That would be discrete because we wouldn't be able to we wouldn't be able to divide that into a fine increment.

01:34 It would be a whole number.

01:37 So we can't split that up into a subdivision past a whole number.

01:47 Now if you look at number 5, number 5 is qualitative.

01:56 Because it's not a numerical representation.

02:00 So brand of a personal computer is a qualitative measurement.

02:06 So is it nominal or ordinal? well nominal has no inherent order or ranking sequence where ordinal could be.

02:19 So this would fall into the nominal.

02:26 And now if we look at 6, amount of fluid.

02:32 That's quantitative.

02:33 7, number of graduate applicants is quantitative.

02:38 8, amount of time is quantitative.

02:40 Room temperature is quantitative.

02:43 And 10, the weight of letters to be mailed.

02:46 Those are all quantitative data.

02:49 To determine if they're continuous or discrete, we want to look at the concept of could they be broken down into subdivisions into smaller fractions or parts.

03:01 So the amount of fluid that's continuous.

03:07 For number 7, the number of graduate applications.

03:10 That's going to be discrete.

03:13 Number 8, the amount of time required to drive a car.

03:16 That's continuous.

03:19 Number 9, room temperature...
