Answer:

a) Quantitative discrete

b) Quantitative continuous

c) Qualitative

d) Quantitative continuous

e) Quantitative discrete

f) Qualitative

g) Qualitative

h) Quantitative continuous

i) Quantitative continuous

j) Quantitative discrete

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so an easy way to remember the difference between qualitative data and quantitative data:

Quantitative is measurable, it measures "QUANTITY."

Qualitative is categorical, meaning it has numeric value.

Now what about the difference between quantitative discrete and quantitative continuous.

Quantitative discrete there is NO IN BETWEEN. It counts things as whole numbers. The example would be your problem:

Number of tickets sold to a concert. Tickets are sold WHOLE, because you can't sell half a ticket.

Quantitative continuous has numbers in between, specifically, there could be decimals or fractions in between. Like in our problem:

Distance to the closest movie theater.

It can be 10.5m, 1.6 km. It does not necessarily have to be EXACTLY 1 Km away or 10 m away. So this is a continuous.
