Across
  1. 5. A variable that is numerical in nature and that can be ordered or ranked. (Also called Numerical Data).
  2. 7. A variable that assumes values that can be counted.
  3. 8. Ranks data and precise difference between units of measure do exist; however, there is no meaningful zero.
  4. 10. The branch of statistics that involves using a sample to draw conclusions about a population. The basic tool for this branch is probability.
Down
  1. 1. A variable that can assume all values between any two specific values. A variable obtained by measuring.
  2. 2. Possesses all the characteristics of interval measurement, and a true zero does exist.
  3. 3. The branch of statistics that involves the organization, summarization, and display of data.
  4. 4. A variable that can be placed into distinct categories, according to some characteristic or attribute.
  5. 6. Classifies data into categories that can be ranked; however, precise differences between the ranks do not exist
  6. 9. Classifies data into mutually exclusive (don’t overlap) categories in which no order or ranking can be imposed on the data.
