Detailed explanation-1: -Ordinal data is a kind of qualitative data that groups variables into ordered categories. The categories have a natural order or rank based on some hierarchal scale, like from high to low. But there is no clearly defined interval between the categories.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ordinal data is a type of qualitative (non-numeric) data that groups variables into descriptive categories.
Detailed explanation-3: -A categorical variable (also called qualitative variable) refers to a characteristic that can’t be quantifiable. Categorical variables can be either nominal or ordinal.
Detailed explanation-4: -Nominal data is qualitative or categorical data, while Ordinal data is considered “in-between” qualitative and quantitative data. Nominal data do not provide any quantitative value, and you cannot perform numeric operations with them or compare them with one another.
