Understand the difference between quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative data is numerical and can be measured, while qualitative data is descriptive and categorizes items.
Examine each option to determine if it is quantitative or qualitative. Quantitative data involves numbers and measurements, such as hours, heights, or outcomes of dice rolls.
Consider the first option: 'The amount of hours students study per week.' This is quantitative data because it involves measuring time in hours.
Look at the second option: 'The heights of basketball players (in centimeters).' This is quantitative data because it involves measuring height in centimeters.
Evaluate the third option: 'The brands of smartphones owned by students.' This is qualitative data because it categorizes the type of smartphone without involving numerical measurement.
