Question

in a study, the data you collect is
gender
what type of the data is this?

quantitative - discrete
quantitative - continuous
qualitative (categorical)

Explanation:

To determine the data type of "Gender", we analyze the options:

• Quantitative - Discrete data consists of countable numerical values (e.g., number of children). Gender is not numerical in a countable sense here.
• Quantitative - Continuous data consists of measurable numerical values (e.g., height). Gender is not measurable in this way.
• Qualitative (Categorical) data represents characteristics or categories (e.g., gender, color). Gender falls into this category as it classifies individuals into groups (e.g., male, female).

Answer:

C. Qualitative (Categorical)
