Categorical and Numerical Data Concepts

Miss Ross introduces types of data, focusing on categorical and numerical data. Categorical data is organized into categories and represented with bar graphs, while numerical data is organized by numbers and shown with line plots. Examples include eye color for categorical data and student heights for numerical data. The video concludes with a brief mention of future topics.
