What is ordinal data?
Ordinal data is known to be counted and ranked, but not measured. For example, let’s say you were asked to give your preference on a new soft drink. So your answer would be from 1 strongly like, to 5 strongly dislike. You can count how many likes, dislikes and in between there are, because of their ranking.
