An article reported the results of cyclic loading tests on c
An article reported the results of cyclic loading tests on concrete-filled tubular columns to H-beam welded connections.
Several test
specimens were loaded until failure.
Some failures
occurred at the welded joint; others occurred through buckling in the beam itself.
For each
specimen, the location of the failure was recorded, along with the torque applied at failure
(in kN m).
The results
for the first five specimens were as follows:
Which data are numerical, and which data are categorical?
The failure locations are numerical data and the torques are categorical data.
The torques are numerical data, and the failure locations are categorical data.
| Specimen | Torque | Failure Location |
| 1 | 180 | Weld |
| 2 | 230 | Beam |
| 3 | 190 | Weld |
| 4 | 254 | Beam |
| 5 | 203 | Beam |
Solution
Torque contains numeric values while Failure location contains categorical values. Therefore \"The torques are numerical data, and the failure locations are categorical data.\"
