Question

Assertion (A) :Qualitative data cannot be converted into scores or subjected to statistical
analysis.
Reason (R) : Some data are generally in a descriptive form.

Answer 1

Both assertion and reason are correct but A is not the correct explanation of R.

Explanation:

• Qualitative data cannot be converted into numbers or subjected to statistical analysis because statistics can only deal with numerical and numbers. So, the assertion is correct.
• It is also true that some data is in numerical form, some data is in short form or some data can also be in descriptive form with detailed information. Therefore, the reason is also correct.
• Both assertion and reason are correct but the assertion is not the correct explanation of the reason.
