2. What is Categorical data ?Discuss about ordinal, and nominal data.
3. Can an ordinal variable ever be treated as numerical data? If yes, under what

grading, the professor categorized the students into different score ranges based on their
performance. The number of students for each score is shown below:
Calculate the average (mean) test score of the students. What does this value indicate
about the overall class performance
