Yes. here is an example: The mode is the most frequent subject that appears in a set of data. So if the data was 2, 5, 5, 7, 10, 10, 10, 10, 11, 12, 13, 13. The mode would be 10 because it appears the most. The mode can be categorical and numerical. I have already proven that the mode can be numerical in the sentences above. For an example of categorical data, say I surveyed some people about what their favorite food was and this was the data: Pizza, pizza, pizza, ice cream, ice cream, strawberries, strawberries, Oranges, spaghetti. The mode would have been pizza.

What is the difference between a categorical variable and numerical variable?
Basically categorical variable yield data in the categories e.g sex (male, female), modes of transport (Bus, railway, etc) and numerical variables yield data in numerical form e.g. age (0-100), number of accident on a certain highway (0,1,2,..).

Can the range be used to describe both categorical and numerical data?
yes because if you have categorical data you need the range for the value of the numbers so it would be the same for numerical data

Can the median be used to describe both a categorical data and numerical data?
No. A median makes no sense for categorical data. For example, if you have 10 red cars, 15 blue cars and 20 black cars, what is the median?
Can the mean be used to describe both categorical and numerical data?
NO. It can not. You have horses, apples and oranges. What is the mean? You can't add horses, oranges and apples together. And even if you can, you can't divide that answer by a number.
