Aspect Discrete Data Metric Data Subdivisions Not meaningful Meaningful Height, weight, distance, Number of books, people, or temperature Examples jae Measurement Counts or categories Measurements on a scale Summary + Discrete data deals with distinct, countable items, often limited to whole numbers. + Metric data deals with measurable quantities that can have fractional values and require a continuous scale for measurement. Let me know if you'd like examples or visualizations for better understanding! 4o You said: nominal data? ChatGPT said: ChatGPT Nominal Data Definition Nominal data is a type of categorical data where the values represent categories or labels that have no inherent order or ranking. It is used to classify data into distinct groups or classes. Characteristics 1. Non-Numeric (Labels): Nominal data typically consists of labels, names, or categories, though it can sometimes be coded numerically (e.g., 1 for "Male," 2 for "Female") 2. No Order or Hierarchy: The categories cannot be logically ordered or ranked 3. Discrete Values: Nominal data is inherently discrete, meaning the categories are separate and non-overlapping. 4. Qualitati Wve: Repreg ; quantities. ents qualitative attributes or characteristics rather than Examples =a: —— G : ender: Male, Female, Non-Binary Colors: Red, Green, Blue Types of Cuisine: Italian, Chinese, Mexican Car Brands: Toyota, Ford, Tesla Customer ID: A123, B456, C789 ee How Nominal Data is Represented 1. Textual Labels: Categories as names (e.g., "Red," "Blue"). 2. Numerical Codes: Arbitrary numbers assigned to categories (e.g., 1 for "Male," 2 for "Female"), Note: The numbers have no mathematical meaning. Statistical Analysis with Nominal Data + Descriptive Statistics o Mode: Most frequently occurring category. o Frequency Distribution: Count of occurrences in each category. + Visualization Tools: o Bar Chart: To show frequency counts of each category. o Pie Chart: To display proportions of categories. « Inferential Statistics: o Chi-Square Test: To test relationships between nominal variables.
