Question
Answer
show result when the number of possible values is either a finite number or a countable number  
🗑
show result from infinitely many possible values that correspond to some continuous scale that covers a range of values without gaps, interruptions or jumps  
🗑
parameter   show
🗑
show a numerical measurement describing some characteristic of a sample  
🗑
nominal   show
🗑
show categories are ordered, but differences cannot be found or are meaningless  
🗑
show differences are meaningful, but there is no natural zero starting point and ratios are meaningless  
🗑
ratio   show
