Levels of Measurement and Data Types

This video tutorial explains the four levels of measurement: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. It discusses how data is classified into quantitative and qualitative categories, and provides examples for each level of measurement. The video also covers the sources of data, including primary and secondary data, and concludes with a summary and interactive questions to reinforce learning.

• Discrete Data

• Continuous Data

Which of the following is an example of qualitative data?

What is the main difference between qualitative and quantitative data?

• Quantitative data is categorical

• Qualitative data is numerical

• Quantitative data cannot be measured

• Qualitative data describes qualities

• Interval

• Nominal

In which level of measurement does the order matter but not the difference between values?

• Ratio

• Interval
