The document discusses two types of data: scaled data and ordinal data. Scaled data can be measured in exact amounts with equal intervals between values. Ordinal or ranked data provides comparative amounts but not necessarily equal intervals. Several examples are provided to illustrate the difference, including driving speed, states ranked by well-being, and elephant weights. Practice questions are also included for the reader to determine if data examples provided are scaled or ordinal.
