Question

which of the following is an example of quantitative data?
a. all of the answers
b. number of books read in a month
c. type of cuisine preferred
d. favorite color

Explanation:

Quantitative data is numerical. "Number of books read in a month" is numerical. "Type of cuisine preferred" and "Favorite color" are qualitative (categorical). If "All of the answers" included only non - numerical, it would be wrong. But since "Number of books..." is quantitative and others are not, if "All of the answers" is a trick (but usually in such questions, only one correct non - 'all' option when others are wrong), but let's check each:

• Option c: Cuisine type is categorical (qualitative).
• Option d: Color is categorical (qualitative).
• Option b: Number of books is numerical (quantitative).

Answer:

B. Number of books read in a month
