MELCs: Learning Objectives:

Differentiate qualitative a. Define data;
and quantitative data. b. Differentiate qualitative from quantitative data;
c. Identify the types of Qualitative and Quantitative data.
d. Familiarize the importance of Qualitative and Quantitative data

DATA is a collection of facts, such as numbers, words, measurements, observations or just description
of thing.
• is any information that has been collected, observed, generated or created to validate
original research findings.
• Data are characteristics or information, usually numeric, that are collected through
observation. In a more technical sense, data are a set of values of qualitative or quantitative
variables about one or more persons or objects, while a datum (singular of data) is a single
value of a single variable.

DATA 2 General types of Data

1.Qualitative data
✓ Qualitative data is defined as the data that approximates and characterizes.
✓ Qualitative data can be observed and recorded.
✓ This data type is non-numerical in nature, collected through methods of observations, one-to-one
interviews, conducting focus groups, and similar methods.
✓ Examples of qualitative data include sex (male or female), name, state of origin, citizenship, etc.
Types of Qualitative Data:

❖ Nominal Data: When there is no natural order between categories then data is nominal type.
Example: Color of an Eye, Gender (Male & Female), Blood Type, Political Party, and Zipcode, Type of
living accommodation(House, Apartment, Trailer, Other), Religious preference( Hindu, Buddhist, 1
Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Other), etc

❖ Ordinal Data: When there is natural order between categories then data is ordinal type. But here,
the difference between the values in order does not matter.
Example: Exam Grades, Socio-economic status (poor, middle class, rich), Education-level
(kindergarten, primary, secondary, higher secondary, graduation), satisfaction rating(extremely dislike,
dislike, neutral, like, extremely like), Time of Day(dawn, morning, noon, afternoon, evening, night), Level 2
of Agreement(yes, maybe, no), The Likert Scale(strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly
agree),

2. Quantitative Data
✓ quantitative information is measurable.
✓ It deals with numbers, quantities, and values.
✓ Since quantitative data is generated through statistics, it has a lot of credibility and is considered to be objective and reliable.
✓ This form of data can be expressed in numerical form (i.e., amount, duration, length, height, age, price, or size).

Types of Quantitative or Numerical Data: 3 4

❖ Discrete Data: The data is said to be discrete if the measurements are integers. It represents count or an item that can be
counted.
Example: Number of people in a family, the number of kids in class, the number of cricket players in a team, the number of
cricket playing nations in the world.
Discrete data is a special kind of data because each value is separate and different. With any data, if we can answer the
below questions then it is discrete.
1. Can you count it?
2. Can it be divided into smaller and smaller parts?
❖ Continuous Data: The data is said to be continuous if the measurements can take any value usually 5
within some range. It is a scale of measurement that can consist of numbers other than whole numbers,
like decimals and fractions.
Example: height, weight, length, temperature
