Select the two categories that would yield qualitative data. o a.) Color of pet [J b) Age of pet (0 c) Pet owner's monthly income ® d.) Type of pet [J e) Pet's purchase price Answer Rationale Recall that qualitative data can only be put into categories. The type of pet (dog, cat, etc.) and the color of the pet (brown, black, etc.) can only be put into categories and can only yield qualitative data. The price of the pet ($5, $75, etc.), the age of the pet (2 years, 6 years, etc), and the pet owner's monthly income ($1,500, $2100, etc.) can only be expressed with numbers. Therefore, these are examples of quantitative data instead of qualitative data.
