Types of Data: Ordinal, Nominal, Continuous

The video tutorial introduces the types of data in statistics, focusing on numerical and categorical data. Numerical data is divided into discrete and continuous types, with examples illustrating each. Categorical data is further divided into nominal and ordinal types, with examples provided. The tutorial concludes with an analysis of a data table, identifying the data types of each column.
