Imagine you have a bag filled with different colored marbles. If you were only interested in studying the frequency of each color individually without considering any other factors like size or shape, you would be dealing with univariate data.
Bivariate Data: Bivariate data involves two variables and examines relationships between them.
Categorical Data: Categorical data represents characteristics or qualities that can be grouped into categories or labels.
