Classification and Organization of Data

This document discusses different types of data and levels of measurement. It defines qualitative and quantitative data, and provides examples. Quantitative data can be discrete or continuous. There are four levels of measurement for data: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. Each level builds on the previous one by adding more precise ways to compare and describe relationships between variables.

Statistics & Data
Qualitative Data

- It deals with categories or attributes


- It can be observed and recorded

Examples:
1) Color of eyes
2) Ethnicity
3) Brand of ice cream
Quantitative Data
• are numerical data
• helps in making real-life decisions
based on mathematical derivations
• can be discrete or continuous

Examples:
• There are four cakes and three muffins
kept in the basket.
• One glass of fizzy drink has 97.5
calories.
Discrete Data
• is obtained through counting

Example:
1) Number of countries in Southeast Asia
2) Number of courses in a school term
3) The number of covid 19 cases in the
Philippines
Continuous Data
• is obtained by measuring

Example:
1) A dog’s weight
2) A person’s height
3) The length of a leaf
4) Time in a race
Let’s chek your understanding!

4. The freshmen college students are very anxious for the final
examination.
5.Two of the smartest in our class were elected president and vice

Levels of Measurement of Data
• Nominal Level of Measurement
• Ordinal Level of Measurement
• Interval Level of Measurement
• Ratio Level of Measurement
Nominal level of measurement
- It classifies qualitative data into two or
more categories. It is the lowest level of
measurement.
- words, letters, and alpha-numeric
symbols can be used

Examples:
- books in the library
- courses in college
Ordinal level of measurement

- It ranks qualitative data.

Examples:
- Winners in a science quiz bee
- Levels of anxiety
- Classroom standing
Interval level of measurement
- It involves quantitative data that are
ranked make sense of differences.
- There is no starting point for this level of
measurement.

A popular example of this level of measurement


is temperature in centigrade, where, for
example, the distance between 940C and 960C is
the same as the distance between 1000C and
1020C.
Ratio level of measurement
- does not only include those characteristics of
interval level of measurement but also starts
at the 0 value.
- It is the highest level of measurement.

Examples:
- weight
- the time it takes to do a math project
- the number of absences of the
students in a class.
