Question

What kind of data would result from the answer of the given question?

"What is the age of different students who participated in a quiz?"

• A. Numerical data
• B. Categorical data

Answer 1

The correct option is A Numerical data

When in the data set every value is a number, then the data set is called numerical data.

Whereas, the non-numerical set of information that can be categorised into different groups is said to form an example of categorical data.

Now, the data collected from the question, "What is the age of different students participated in a quiz?", can be represented as follows:


Since every value collected is a number, therefore the given question will fall under the category of numerical data.

So, option (a) is correct.
