Answer 1

Numerical data sorts by number values such as measurements, whereas categorical data sorts by shared features or attributes.

Reason: Numerical (quantitative) data are measured or counted (e.g., height, temperature, age); categorical (qualitative) data are labels or groups (e.g., color, gender, category).
