Examples: Picturing the World
Interval: qualitative, data can be ordered and you can calculate meaningful differences but there is no true zero Examples: Ratio: quantitative, numerical data with a zero Examples: Now let’s do Examples 2 & 3 on pages 10 & 11. There is a great summary table on page 12!
