Discussion Post: Quantitative Versus Qualitative Data
When it is time to analyze data, the first issue that has to be decided upon is whether or not the data is numerical (quantitative) or non-numerical (qualitative). Consider the types of data you discussed in u02d1 (structured, semi-structured, quasi-structured, unstructured). Classify the data you examined as either quantitative or qualitative. Identify at least one type of data that may be qualitative in its raw form and explain how it could be transformed to numerical form so that it could be made quantitative.
