Presentation transcript:

Example Suppose a marine biologist observes the behavior and activities of dolphins. She identifies different dolphins within the group and observes them every day for a month. She records detailed observations about their behaviors. Some of her observations are qualitative data and some are quantitative data.  Create a T-chart and sort the list Qualitative data Quantitative data The sonar frequency most often used by the dolphins is around 100kHz. Dolphin colors range from gray to white. Dolphins have smooth skin.  There are nine dolphins in this pod. Dolphins eat the equivalent of 4-5% of their body mass each day. Dolphins in a pod engage in play behavior.
