Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ordinary arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) are only meaningful with quantitative data, which includes numerical values such as age, weight, height, income, and temperature. Categorical data, on the other hand, consists of non-numerical values that represent different categories or groups, like gender, race, or political affiliation. Therefore, option A and C are incorrect, and option D does not make sense since arithmetic operations by definition require the use of numbers.
