each of the following categories describes some data that are to be collected. which of the categories will yield data that is quantitative?

1. the number of children in your house
2. your favorite type of pie
3. your eye color
4. the average time you spend on the phone

2 and 3
1 and 2
1 and 4
2 and 4
1 and 3

Explanation:

To determine which categories yield quantitative data, we recall that quantitative data is numerical and can be measured or counted.

• 1. "The number of children in your house" is a count (numerical), so it's quantitative.
• 2. "Your favorite type of pie" is a category (qualitative), not numerical.
• 3. "Your eye color" is a category (qualitative), not numerical.
• 4. "The average time you spend on the phone" is a measured value (numerical), so it's quantitative.

So the categories with quantitative data are 1 and 4.

Answer:

1 and 4 (the option corresponding to "1 and 4" among the given choices)
