Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nominal and ordinal variables are always discrete. Nominal variables have categories that cannot be ranked, such as gender or race, and ordinal variables have categories that can be ranked but do not have a consistent measurement between them, such as education level (high school, college, graduate school). Ratio and interval variables are continuous and can have any value within a range, such as age or temperature.
