Identify the type of data (qualitative/quantitative) and the level of measurement for the data described below. Explain your choice. The average monthly rainfall in inches for a certain city throughout the year Are the data qualitative or quantitative? A. Quantitative, because numerical values, found by either measuring or counting, are used to describe the data B. Qualitative, because descriptive terms are used to measure or classify the data C. Qualitative, because numerical values, found by either measuring or counting, are used to describe the data D. Quantitative, because descriptive terms are used to measure or classify the dat

Option A) Quantitative, because numerical values, found by either measuring or counting, are used to describe the data

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The average monthly rainfall in inches for a certain city throughout the year.

The follow data can be expressed in the form of numerical.

Hence, it is quantitative data.

Also, the average rainfall can be expressed in the form of decimals. Hence, it can take ant value within an interval.

The decimal values has meaning.

Also, the average rainfall will always be measured not counted.

Existence of true zero.

Since true zero for average rainfall exist, the level of measurement is ratio.

Option A) Quantitative, because numerical values, found by either measuring or counting, are used to describe the data
