More Information
Quantitative data involve numerical measurements, with 'discrete' meaning countable items and 'continuous' implying measurable data. Qualitative data refer to categories, with 'nominal' meaning names and 'ordinal' implying a sense of order.
Tips
Avoid mixing nominal and ordinal data, as nominal does not imply any order. Be precise in categorizing discrete versus continuous data based on whether the values are countable or measurable.
