Ordered categories

When the different categories are ordered in some meaningful way, the proportion of values greater than or less than some category are also meaningful.

Discrete numerical data (counts) can be treated as a special type of ordered categorical data.

The following exercise shows the frequency table for an ordered categorical (or discrete) variable and asks a wider range of question types than the exercise on the previous page. (Read the wording of the questions carefully.)

Repeat with a few different questions.
