DATA TYPES

There are two types of data (qualitative and qualitative), that record various kinds of
information.
Quantitative: The information is recorded as numbers and represents an objective
measurement or a count. Temperature, weight, and a count of transactions are all
quantitative data. 

Qualitative: The information represents characteristics that you do not measure with
numbers. Instead, the observations fall within a countable number of groups. In fact, this
type of variable can capture information that isn’t easily measured and can be subjective.
Table 1 is data dictionary that specifies data type for variables in Loan.xls
