    Explanation
    The most basic distinction between types of data is that some data are quantitative while other data are qualitative. Quantitative data refers to information that can be measured or expressed numerically. This includes data that consists of numbers, such as measurements, counts, or ratings. Quantitative data allows for mathematical analysis and statistical interpretation. In contrast, qualitative data refers to non-numerical information, such as narrative descriptions, open-ended responses, or theoretical meanings. Therefore, the correct answer is "Numbers" because quantitative data is characterized by the presence of numerical values.

    Explanation
    The answer is text, pictures, videos, and sound recordings because qualitative data refers to non-numerical data that is collected through observations, interviews, and open-ended questions. These types of data can provide rich and detailed information about people's experiences, opinions, and behaviors. Text, pictures, videos, and sound recordings are examples of qualitative data sources as they capture the subjective and contextual aspects of the data, allowing for a deeper understanding of the phenomenon being studied.
