Question

An article reported the results of cyclic loading tests on concrete-filled tubular columns to H-beam welded connections.

Several test

specimens were loaded until failure.

Some failures

occurred at the welded joint; others occurred through buckling in the beam itself.

For each

specimen, the location of the failure was recorded, along with the torque applied at failure

(in kN m).

The results

for the first five specimens were as follows:

Which data are numerical, and which data are categorical?

The failure locations are numerical data and the torques are categorical data.

The torques are numerical data, and the failure locations are categorical data.

Specimen Torque Failure
Location 1 180 Weld 2 230 Beam 3 190 Weld 4 254 Beam 5 203 Beam

Explanation / Answer

Torque contains numeric values while Failure location contains categorical values. Therefore "The torques are numerical data, and the failure locations are categorical data."
