Detailed explanation-1: -Qualitative variables are those that express a qualitative attribute such as hair color, eye color, religion, favorite movie, gender, and so on. The values of a qualitative variable do not imply a numerical ordering.
Detailed explanation-2: -Qualitative Variables. Also known as categorical variables, qualitative variables are variables with no natural sense of ordering. They are therefore measured on a nominal scale. For instance, hair color (Black, Brown, Gray, Red, Yellow) is a qualitative variable, as is name (Adam, Becky, Christina, Dave . . .).
Detailed explanation-3: -Qualitative variables are divided into two types: nominal and ordinal.
Detailed explanation-4: -Typically, a variable can describe either a quantitative or qualitative characteristic of an individual. Examples of quantitative characteristics are age, BMI, creatinine, and time from birth to death. Examples of qualitative characteristics are gender, race, genotype and vital status.
