Q

What is Nominal Data?

A

Data: Labelled or classified into categories. (Nominal = Naming)

  • used to label variables without quantitative value
  • Mutually exclusive data (cannot be blood type A and B is one or the other)
18
Q

  • Blood Types
19
Q

A

Non-Parametric

(NOn-Parametric)
- N Nominal
