Sample question
Researchers studying young people's housing use the Census count of 20- to 24-year-olds living in the parental home. Which kind of data is this, and what is its main strength?
  • Qualitative data, because it describes meaning and context
  • Quantitative data, because it reveals patterns across a large population
  • Qualitative data, because it was gathered by participant observation
  • Quantitative data, because it explains why each young person stays at home
Show the worked answer

Answer: B

B: the count is numerical, and Census data offers broad population coverage for comparing patterns. Coverage and measurement errors remain possible. A count of people living with parents does not by itself establish their reasons for doing so; those require further evidence.
