Qualitative Data
Remember, qualitative data are words describing a characteristic of the individual (including numbers that don't count or measure anything about the individual). There are several different graphs that are used for qualitative data.
Qualitative data can first be organized in a frequency or relative frequency table.
Frequency table - organizes collected data in table form using categories (or classes) and frequencies (counts).
Relative frequency table - organizes raw data in table form using categories (or classes) and proportions (or percentages). Relative frequency tables are useful when comparing data sets where the sample sizes are not the same.
