The textbook states nominal or ordinal variables ONLY apply to qualitative, and continuous or discrete ONLY apply to quantitative - but this video applies continuous and discrete to qualitative. Assuming the textbook was updated after this video was made?
Thank you Dr. Gates for these excellent learning aids. I noticed something potentially unclear and confusing: you list the 'day of the week' as an example of ordinal variables, which you say "are not measurable" because the intervals between each category are not equal (9:31). Then, on the very next slide you list 'day of the week' as an interval variable. (9:40). Can you please explain this apparent contradiction?
Thank you professor this is very helpful to me
Excellent! Very clear and thorough.

This was great, cleared up some confusion, thank you!
Question - you list "height of a person" as ratio, but a person can't be zero inches high? And ratio is supposed to have a true zero possible.
