question 3 of 10
which of the following statements does not explain the difference between qualitative and quantitative data?
qualitative data is the result of open - ended data collection while quantitative data is the result of close - ended data collection.
qualitative data is non - numeric while quantitative data is numeric.
qualitative data can not be quantified by numbers while quantitative data can be quantified by numbers.
quantitative data is not easily handled or measured while qualitative data is easily handled or measured.

Explanation:

Qualitative data is non - numeric (descriptive, like colors, opinions) and can't be quantified by numbers easily. Quantitative data is numeric (counts, measurements). Open - ended vs closed - ended data collection is a valid difference. But quantitative data is easily measured (e.g., height in cm) and qualitative is not (e.g., "good" or "bad" taste can't be measured numerically as easily as length).

Answer:

Quantitative data is not easily handled or measured while qualitative data is easily handled or measured.
