Qualitative and Quantitative Data
“Qualitative data is the measure of 'types' and may be represented by a name, symbol, or a number
code” [Quantitative and Qualitative Data, July 2013]. Qualitative data characterises and so an example question
would be ‘what is your marital status?’
Because qualitative data focuses on words, it allows answers to be expanded and therefore more
research is gained.
Tests carried out:
Benedict’s test
Iodine test
Ethanol test
Filter paper test
Biuret test
Foods used in each test:
o Cookie
o Wotsit
o Bread
o Popcorn
o Sugar
o Egg white
o Egg yolk
o Fruit juice
o Water
Cation test
Anion test
“Quantitative data is the measure of values or counts and are expressed as numbers” [Quantitative and
Qualitative Data, July 2013]. Quantitative data uses measurements and so an example question would be
‘how much do you weigh?’
Because quantitative data focuses on numbers, it gives a factual answer that has been proven.
