Question

Are treatment assignments classified as categorical data or quantitative?

Example

Treatment 1 840 total people receiving 

40 died, 20 died past week 4, 10 developed health issues 

Treatment 2 850 people receiving 

30 died, 15 died past week 4, 9 developed health issues 

Control 600 people received Placebo

33 died, 32 died past week 4, 8 developed health issues 

Would this just be numerical (qualitative data) or because they are categorized into treatments it would overall just be categorical data?
