No, if Ahmad includes the measure of the lowest temperature for each day, his project would not use categorical data only. Temperature is a continuous quantitative variable, meaning it can take on a wide range of numerical values. Categorical data consists of distinct categories or groups, such as weather conditions (e.g., sunny, cloudy, rainy) or classifications (e.g., types of precipitation). Since temperature is measured on a scale, it does not fit within the categorical data category. If he wants to maintain a strictly categorical approach, he should focus on non-numerical classifications of the weather instead.
Ahmad is involved in a project that tracks weather data for a week. He wants to use only categorical data. If he decides to include the measure of the lowest temperature for each day would his project still use categorical data only
