The number of pencil used during a test is a type of which data?

nominal qualitative
ordinal qualitative
discrete quantitative
continuous quantitative

Class rank (freshman, sophomore, etc.) is a type of which data?

nominal qualitative
ordinal qualitative
discrete quantitative
continuous quantitative

To determine the type of data, we need to understand the characteristics of each type.

1. The number of pencils used during a test: This is a count of discrete objects, as you can only have whole numbers of pencils. Therefore, it falls under the category of discrete quantitative data.

2. Class rank (freshman, sophomore, etc.): This is a qualitative variable that represents different categories or levels. However, there is a specific order or hierarchy associated with the different levels of class rank. For example, sophomore is above freshman. This means that class rank is an example of ordinal qualitative data.

So, the answer to the first question is "discrete quantitative data," and the answer to the second question is "ordinal qualitative data."
