Statistics for Data Science and Business Analysis - Levels of Measurement

The video tutorial explains the classification of data into qualitative and quantitative types. Qualitative data is divided into nominal and ordinal categories, while quantitative data is split into interval and ratio types. The key difference between interval and ratio data is the presence of a true zero in ratio data. Examples such as temperature scales illustrate these concepts. The tutorial concludes with a brief mention of graph types used in data representation.
