Reason and Interpretation
Ticket ID.
Categorical
It is a categorical variable as Ticket IDs are just labels which are
qualitative in nature, and we cannot
perform any meaningful mathematical
operations on it.
Nominal
It has a nominal scale of measurement
because there is no order/rank involved
Neither Discrete nor Continuous
Because it is a categorical variable
Bar Chart
Ticket_ID is categorical variable whose count can be suitably represented through Bar Chart
Age
Numerical
It is a numerical variable because it
has numeric properties, and we can
perform arithmetic operations
performed on it.
Ratio
It has a ratio scale of measurement because it has numeric properties and
satisfies the absolute zero property.
Also, we can perform addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division
on the variable. Suppose we can say Age of A is twice age of B.
Discrete
Because age can't be a decimal value
Histogram
A histogram is an
appropriate representation
of the distribution of
large data.
Ticket Price
Numerical
It is a numerical variable because it
has numeric properties, and we can
perform arithmetic operations
performed on it.
Ratio
It has a ratio scale of measurement because it has numeric properties and
satisfies the absolute zero property.
Also, we can perform addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division
on the variable because ticket price.
Continous
Because it can take any values in the interval [10 to 25]
Histogram
A histogram is an
appropriate representation
of the distribution of
continuous data. Therefore,
we can plot a histogram for
Prices” by making
bins.
Movie Genre
Categorical
It is a categorical variable as Movie Genres are just labels which are
qualitative in nature, and we cannot
perform any meaningful mathematical
operations on it.
Nominal
It has a nominal scale of measurement
because there is no order/rank involved
Neither Discrete nor Continuous .
Because it is a categorical variable
Bar Chart or Pie Chart
As Movie Genre is a categorical variable Bar chart can be used to give count of each genre. 2) Pie Chart can give share of each genre
Seat_Type
Categorical
It is a categorical variable as Seat_Types are just labels which are
qualitative in nature, and we cannot
perform any meaningful mathematical
operations on it.
Ordinal
It has an ordinal scale of measurement as "seat type" consists of levels which can be ordered as Standard<Premium<VIP
Neither Discrete nor Continuous .
Because it is a categorical variable
Bar Chart or Pie Chart or Pareto Chart
Seat Type is a categorical variable with
ordinal scale of
measurement. We can plot
the bar chart to represent
the count of the categories by
preserving the order of the
data.
Number_of_Person
Numerical
It is a numerical variable because it
has numeric properties, and we can
perform arithmetic operations
performed on it.
Ratio
It has a ratio scale of measurement because it has numeric properties and
satisfies the absolute zero property.
Also, we can perform addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division
on the variable.
Discrete
Because age can't be a decimal value
Histogram
A histogram is an
appropriate representation
of the distribution of large data.
Purchase_Again.
Categorical
It is a categorical variable as Yes or No are just choices in form of labels which are
qualitative in nature, and we cannot
perform any meaningful mathematical
operations on it.
Nominal
It has a nominal scale of measurement
because there is no order/rank involved
Neither Discrete nor Continuous .
Because it is a categorical variable
Bar Chart or Pie Chart
(i) We can plot a bar chart to
find the count of “No”
and “Yes” in the Purchase Again
category as the bar chart is
a good representative when
we are interested in finding
the “count” of the categories.
(ii) We can plot a pie chart if
we are interested in
comparing the share of
“No” and
“Yes” preferences.
