Categorical Data • Categorical data, also known as qualitative data, represents characteristics and attributes that can be divided into different categories but do not have a natural numerical order. These categories are typically names or labels, and the data is often used to classify or group items. Categorical data can be further divided into: • 1. Nominal Data: This type of data consists of categories that do not have any intrinsic order. Examples include gender (male, female), color (red, blue, green), and type of car (sedan, SUV, truck). • 2. Ordinal Data: This type of data consists of categories that have a meaningful order but the differences between the categories are not quantifiable. Examples include rankings (first, second, third), education levels (high school, bachelor's, master's), and satisfaction ratings (satisfied, neutral, dissatisfied). • Quantitative Data • Quantitative data, also known as numerical data, represents quantities and is expressed in numerical terms. This type of data can be measured and ordered. Quantitative data can be further divided into: • 1. Discrete Data: This type of data consists of distinct, separate values that can often be counted. Examples include the number of students in a class, the number of cars in a parking lot, and the number of defects in a batch of products. • 2. Continuous Data: This type of data consists of values within a continuous range and can be measured to any level of precision. Examples include height, weight, temperature, and time. Continuous data can take on any value within a given range and often require a measuring instrument to obtain. • Key Differences • 1. Nature: • Categorical data deals with names and labels. • Quantitative data deals with numbers and quantities. • 2. Order: • Categorical data can be nominal (no order) or ordinal (ordered). • Quantitative data can be discrete (countable) or continuous (measurable). • 3. Usage: • Categorical data is used to classify or group items. • Quantitative data is used to measure or quantify items. • Understanding the distinction between categorical and quantitative data is crucial for choosing appropriate statistical methods and accurately interpreting data in research and analysis. • In case of any query, feel free to knock. • Contact Address: • Facebook Account: / mashaon.du • Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/shaon.bmb • Email: [email protected] • Whatsapp: +8801791873992 • Telegram: +8801791873992
