In qualitative variables, nominal data involves categories with no inherent order, such as colors or types of fruit. Ordinal data, on the other hand, includes categories that have a meaningful order or ranking, such as education levels or customer satisfaction ratings.

The median shows where the 'middle' of your data is. For qualitative data, this only makes sense when the variable is ordinal.

If you have nominal data (qualitative data with no order) eg democratic/republican/other, you might find the mode (most common value) useful.
