Question

Do the concepts of class​ limits, marks,​ cutpoints, and midpoints make sense for qualitative​ data? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Class limits are the smallest and the largest data value that can go into a class.

Class marks are the midpoints of the classes. They are obtained by averaging the limits.

Cutpoints are specified values used to sort continuous variables into discrete categories.

Class Midpoint is the middle value of each data class.


For qualitative data, cutpoints and midpoints make​ sense, but class limits and marks do​ not, since qualitative data cannot be grouped using Limit grouping.
