Suppose you're given a data set that classifies each sample unit into one of four categories: A, B, C, or D. You plan to create a computer database consisting of these data, and you decide to code the data as A1, B2, C3, and D4. Are the data consisting of the classifications A, B, C, and D qualitiative or quantitative? After the data are input as 1, 2, 3, or 4, are they qualitative or quantitative?

The data consisting of the classifications A, B, C, and D are qualitative.

After the data are input as 1, 2, 3, or 4 the data still be qualitative.

Step-by-step explanation:
