Numerical vs non-numerical data

Recall that survey questions can take numerical or non-numerical data as responses. You’ll see in the upcoming activity that there are statistical terms for these kinds of data, which you may recall from a previous math class. For now, focus on the type of question that would anticipate a particular response. For example, the question, “how many siblings do you have?” would take a numerical response but the question, “do you own a car?” would not. Answer Questions 3 and 4 to assess your understanding of anticipating the responses to survey questions.
