2) may be either numeric or non-numeric.
3) are always numeric.

Answer 1

Answer:

Always Numeric (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The term quantitative means that the data can be measured in some way. Therefore quantitative data is always numeric.

A little tip to differentiate between quantitative and qualitative is that quantitative has an n in the middle of it, which means numbers. Qualitative does not have an n in it, therefore it does not relate to numbers.
