Question

classify the following data: indicate whether the data is qualitative or quantitative. indicate whether the data is discrete, continuous, or neither, and indicate the level of measurement for the data.

the amount of time each of five randomly selected basketball players play during a game.

answer

are these data qualitative or quantitative?

○ qualitative ○ quantitative

are these data discrete or continuous?

○ discrete ○ continuous ○ neither

what is the highest level of measurement the data possesses?

○ nominal ○ ordinal ○ interval ○ ratio

Explanation:

1. Quantitative data represents numerical measurements, and time played is a numerical value, so the data is quantitative.
2. Continuous data can take any value within a range, and time can be measured in infinitely small increments (e.g., fractions of a second), so it is continuous.
3. Ratio level measurement has a true zero (0 time means no time played) and allows for meaningful multiplication/division of values, which applies to time data.

Answer:

Are these data qualitative or quantitative?
Quantitative

Are these data discrete or continuous?
Continuous

What is the highest level of measurement the data possesses?
Ratio
