Qualitative data is not measurable in terms of tangible variables, such as numbers. Which of the following includes examples of qualitative data?

Information from blood tests and lab results
Information obtained from interviews and direct observations
Information from medical imaging
Information from genetic testing

The correct answer is: Information obtained from interviews and direct observations

Examples of qualitative data include information obtained from interviews and direct observations where the data is based on qualities, characteristics, opinions, and descriptions. The other options (blood tests and lab results, medical imaging, genetic testing) are examples of quantitative data where results are numerical and measurable.
