Types of statistical data

The topic of types of statistical data focuses on how data are classified so that the correct method of description, presentation, and analysis can be chosen. For examinations, you must clearly distinguish qualitative from quantitative data, and also understand subtypes such as nominal, ordinal, discrete, and continuous because many statistical procedures depend on the nature of the data collected.
