Question

place the following data on the 6 groups into the correct category.
qualitative

• on - the - job training
• 50% of workers need retraining to keep
• 15% decrease in unemployment
• seek to increase sales
• passive smoke linked
• 67.2 smokers

categorize these facts about coffee

• brewed aroma
• served temperature 185°f
• served up 7 inches in height
• 12 ounces of latte
• strong taste
• bunn drip cup
• cost $4.95

Explanation:

To solve this, we categorize each fact as Qualitative (descriptive, non - numerical) or Quantitative (numerical, measurable):

Qualitative (Descriptive, Non - Numerical)

• On - site - mixed Java: This is a description of the type of coffee, so it's qualitative.
• USDA organic certification: It's a descriptive label about the coffee, so it's qualitative.
• 100% Arabica beans: The "100%" here is about the type of beans (a description of the composition in terms of bean type, not a numerical measurement in the quantitative sense of, say, quantity or length), so it's qualitative.
• Smooth aroma: Aroma is a descriptive quality, so it's qualitative.
• Smooth, deep flavor: Flavor is a descriptive quality, so it's qualitative.
• Strong taste: Taste is a descriptive quality, so it's qualitative.
• Burlap (nylon) cup: This is a description of the cup material, so it's qualitative.

Quantitative (Numerical, Measurable)

• Brewing temperature 195°F: Temperature is a numerical measurement, so it's quantitative.
• Brewing time 7 minutes: Time is a numerical measurement, so it's quantitative.
• 12 ounces of liquid: The amount of liquid is a numerical measurement, so it's quantitative.
• Cost $4.95: Cost is a numerical value, so it's quantitative.
• 67.2 mg caffeine: The amount of caffeine is a numerical measurement, so it's quantitative.
• Passion for coffee spirit: Wait, no, "Passion for coffee spirit" is descriptive. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Let's re - check. The original data:

Wait, the "67.2 mg caffeine" is quantitative (numerical amount of caffeine). "Brewing temperature 195°F" (numerical temperature), "Brewing time 7 minutes" (numerical time), "12 ounces of liquid" (numerical volume), "Cost $4.95" (numerical cost) are quantitative.

The qualitative ones are about the type, aroma, flavor, taste, cup material, certification, bean type, coffee type.

Final Categorization Table

USDA organic certification	Brewing time 7 minutes
100% Arabica beans	12 ounces of liquid
Smooth aroma	Cost $4.95
Smooth, deep flavor	67.2 mg caffeine
Strong taste
