1. Type of data obtained from this question will be qualitative because, for example, one possible answer could be health problems such as knee arthritis. Another possible answers could be limb paralysis, hypertension etc. As these are qualitative answers, corresponding data is also qualitative.

2. Type of data obtained from this question will be quantitative discrete. Because possible answers are 0,1,2,3,....,29,30. These are discrete values and therefore the data is quantitative discrete. Please note any value such as 20.5 is not possible to be obtained through this question and therefore it is not quantitative continuous data.

3. Type of data obtained by this question will be quantitative discrete. For example, possible answers are 0,1,2,....,6,7. These are discrete quantitative values.

4. Data obtained from this question will be qualitative. Because only possible answers of this question are either "Yes" or "No", both of which are qualitative data.
