Solution Steps

Solution Approach
  1. Determine if the data is qualitative or quantitative by considering if it represents categories or numerical values.
  2. Decide if the data is discrete or continuous by checking if it can take on only specific values or any value within a range.
  3. Identify the highest level of measurement by evaluating if the data can be categorized, ordered, or if it has meaningful differences or a true zero point.
Step 1: Determine if the Data is Qualitative or Quantitative

The data is represented by numerical values, where "head" is recorded as 1 and "tail" as 2. Since these are numerical representations, the data is quantitative.

Step 2: Determine if the Data is Discrete or Continuous

The data can only take on specific values, either 1 or 2, which means it is not continuous. Therefore, the data is discrete.

Step 3: Identify the Highest Level of Measurement

The numbers 1 and 2 are used to categorize the outcomes of a coin toss without implying any order or magnitude. This categorization corresponds to the nominal level of measurement.

Final Answer

  • The data is \(\boxed{\text{Quantitative}}\).
  • The data is \(\boxed{\text{Discrete}}\).
  • The highest level of measurement is \(\boxed{\text{Nominal}}\).
