Qualitative data refers to non-numeric information that describes characteristics or qualities. The name of the material (ii) and the shape of the container (iii) are qualitative because they describe attributes that are not quantifiable. The volume of a shipping container (i), however, is quantitative data because it is a numeric measurement.
