Statistical Data Part II

Qualitative Data
Qualitative data is a categorical measurement expressed not in terms of numbers, but rather by means of a natural language description. In statistics, it is often used interchangeably with "categorical" data.
Qualitative data is descriptive information (it describes something)
Example:
  • Your friends' favorite holiday destination
  • The most common given names in your town
  • How people describe the smell of a new perfume
