categorical data is data that can be assigned to distinct non-overlapping categories. ex: What cell phone provider do you use?
response: {Telus, Bell Aliant, Telus, Bell Aliant, Rogers,Rogers,Koodo, Rogers, Telus Rogers}.
The responses to question one fit into four categories
numerical data set is when the data is compromised of numbers, specifically different amounts of money.
ex: What was your cell phone bill for the previous month?
response:{$27.50, $33.50, $45.70, $32.00, $54.90, $29.00, $43.65, $67.40, $35.89, $$39.67}.

What is the difference between a categorical variable and numerical variable?
Basically categorical variable yield data in the categories e.g sex (male, female), modes of transport (Bus, railway, etc) and numerical variables yield data in numerical form e.g. age (0-100), number of accident on a certain highway (0,1,2,..).
Can the median be used to describe both categorical data and numerical data?
Can the median and mode be used to describe both categorical data and numerical data
What is the difference between a categorical and a numerical variable?
Categorical data (or variable) consists of names representing categories. For example, the gender (categories of male & female) of the people where you work or go to school; or the make of cars in the parking lot (categories of Ford, GM, Toyota, Mazda, KIA, etc) is categorical data. Numerical data (or variable) consists of numbers that represent counts or measurements. For example, the number of males & females where you work or go to school; or the number of the make of cars Ford, GM, Toyota, Mazda, KIA, etc is numerical data.
Can the median be used to descibe both numerical data and categorical data?
It can be used to describe continuous or discreet data but not categorical or ordered data, unless that data is also numercal which is very unlikely
Numerical and categorical data usually include everything about an entire population?
false

Can the range be used to describe both categorical and numerical data?
yes because if you have categorical data you need the range for the value of the numbers so it would be the same for numerical data
What is the difference between numerical and non-numerical data?
Numerical data is numbers. Non-numerical data is anything else.
Can you get the midpoint in categorical data?
In categorical data, the concept of a midpoint is not applicable as it is in numerical data. Categorical data consists of distinct categories or groups without a meaningful order or numerical value, making it impossible to calculate a midpoint. Instead, you can analyze categorical data using measures such as mode, frequency distribution, or proportions to understand the distribution of categories.
How is categorical data differ from numerical data?
Categorical data represents characteristics or qualities and is divided into distinct categories, such as gender, color, or brand. It can be nominal (without an inherent order, like types of fruit) or ordinal (with a defined order, like satisfaction ratings). In contrast, numerical data consists of measurable quantities and can be discrete (countable, like the number of students) or continuous (measurable, like height or weight). The key difference lies in how the data is represented and analyzed, with categorical data focusing on groupings and numerical data on quantifiable values.

David asks each of his family members what their favorite vegetable is is he collecting data on a numerical or categorical variable?
Categorical

Is a first name qualitative or categorical?
A first name is considered categorical data, as it falls into distinct categories and does not have a numerical value.
Is a steam-and-leaf plot categorical of numerical?
Not sure about steam-and-leaf but a stem-and-leaf plot is used for numerical data.
Numerical and categorical data usually include everything about an entire population?
false
