In statistics numerical data is quantitative rather than qualitative.
Numerical data is numbers. Non-numerical data is anything else.
A number that describes numerical data is a Statistic.
Understanding and interpret numerical data
Within statistical analysis Quantitative data is numerical. It often measures the the subject studied in mathematical terms. Qualitative data is descriptive. This data describes the subject being studied in words or text. Such as how something looks or feels. How it interacts etc.
A data set that describes the colors of cars in a parking lot would be classified as qualitative data. This is because the data is descriptive and categorical in nature, rather than numerical or measured.
descriptive statistics-quantitavely describe the main features of a collection of data. Descriptive statistics are distinguished from inferential.Statistics(or inductive statistics),in that descriptive statistics aim to summarize a data set,rather than use the data to learn about the population that the data are thought to represent.

first understand the sum then write the given data and find the formula which suits the given data and start solving..

This procedure is qualitative because it focuses on gathering descriptive data and understanding the quality or characteristics of a phenomenon rather than measuring it numerically. Quantitative procedures involve collecting numerical data for statistical analysis.
Qualitative observations are descriptive and non-numerical, focusing on qualities like color, texture, or smell. Quantitative observations involve measurements and numerical data, such as weight, length, or temperature.
Descriptive statistics describe the main features of a collection of data quantitatively. Descriptive statistics are distinguished from inferential statistics (or inductive statistics), in that descriptive statistics aim to summarize a data set quantitatively without employing a probabilistic formulation, rather than use the data to make inferences about the population that the data are thought to represent.
In general, the two types of data are quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative data is numerical data. For example, there were 58 mg of the solution following the reaction. In social sciences, quantitative data are represented through an analysis of a numerical input collected by means of questionnaires and other facilities. They are generally diagrams and percentages. Qualitative data is not numerical data. For example, the solution turned purple. Case studies for example are known to use qualitative data. Their analysis is through written descriptive texts.
Descriptive data is data that is used to summarize or describe samples of data. Descriptive data is different from inferential statistics because inferential statistics uses data to learn from it.
