Scales of Measurement & Types of Data Explained | Statistics for Computer Science Beginners
Welcome to our comprehensive tutorial on "Scales of Measurement & Types of Data" tailored specifically for computer science beginners! In this video, we delve into the fundamental concepts of nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio scales, along with qualitative and quantitative data.
Key Concepts Covered:
Scales of Measurement:
Nominal Scale: Categorizes data without order. Examples include types of fruits (apples, oranges, bananas).
Ordinal Scale: Categorizes data with a meaningful order but unequal intervals. Examples include customer satisfaction ratings (satisfied, neutral, dissatisfied).
Interval Scale: Measures data with equal intervals but no true zero point. Examples include temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit.

Qualitative Data: Descriptive data that can be observed but not measured. Examples include colors and labels.
Quantitative Data: Numerical data that can be measured. Examples include the number of students in a class (discrete) and height of students (continuous).
Statistical Population:
The entire group you want to draw conclusions about, such as all users of a social media platform.
