Question

students measure the angle of deflection of a compass needle caused by a current-carrying coiled wire and record it as 12 degrees to the east.
what type of data is this an example of?
touch data
quantitative data
qualitative data
measured data

Explanation:

Quantitative data is numerical information that represents a measurable quantity. The recorded value (12 degrees) is a numerical measurement of the compass deflection, fitting this category. "Touch data" is not a standard data type, qualitative data describes non-numeric attributes, and "measured data" is not a formal classification of data types.

Answer:

quantitative data
