Column C: unique identifier
Column D: H contain into 4 customers
Column I: K location of store
Column L: N Purchase of product
Last Column: number of items purchased and the amount paid

Determine the type of variable and the measurement level.

Nominal - A variable measured on a "nominal" scale is one that has no significant distinction in terms of
judgment. One value isn't necessarily superior to another.

Ordinal - An item measured on an "ordinal" scale does not have an assessment connotation. One value
is superior to the other in terms of size, magnitude, or quality.

Interval - A variable measured on an "interval" scale provides more information than ordinal scales,
although interval variables have the same distance.

Ratio - everything measured on a ratio scale has the same features as something measured on an
interval scale, but there is an absolute zero point with ratio scaling.
