variables data can measure with numbers and ones we cant Som

variables (data) can measure with numbers and ones we can’t. Sometimes the same variable can be measured both ways. For example “height”. For statistical purposes we would measure it in inches, feet, etc. But, for simply descriptive purposes we might use the terms “tall, short, medium height, etc.” We can do the same with income (top 1%, middle class, poor) or $1000K, $60K and $20K. Can you think of some others?
