Continuous data: real numbers, represented as floating point variable.
c) Nominal: categorical/ enumerations.
Ordinal: ordering or ranking is present.
Interval Scaled: measured on a scale of equal-size units, no true zeropoint.
Ratio Scaled: Inherent zero point exists. One value can be represented as a multiple (ratio) of others.
