Categorical Variable
assigns labels that place each individual into a particular group, called a category.
Quantitative Variable
takes number values that are quantities—counts or
measurements.

7. Analyzing Data
A variable generally takes values that vary. We are interested in the pattern of that variation.

Distribution
tells us what values a variable takes and how often it takes those values.
