Can the median and mode be used to describe both categorical data and numerical data
You can use them to describe the central tendency of the data but no more than that.
It can be used to describe continuous or discreet data but not categorical or ordered data, unless that data is also numercal which is very unlikely
Non-numerical nominal characteristics can be the brands of cars we drive, the names of cities were we live, our race, religion, etc. Numerical nominal characteristics can be area codes, zip codes, numbers on the back of jerseys of basketball players. Numerical, non-nominal data is someone's weight or height.
Numerical Data means data consisting of numbers, not categories, such as the heights of students.
A non-numerical description is a qualitative observation. It uses words to describe qualities or characteristics of an object, event, or phenomenon instead of 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
Numerical data is numbers. Non-numerical data is anything else.
1. (used with a sing. verb) The mathematics of the collection, organization, and interpretation of numerical data, especially the analysis of population characteristics by inference from sampling.2. (used with a pl. verb) Numerical data.

Numerical data is quantitative research
Numerical data is data measured or identified on a numerical scale. Numerical can be analyzed using statistical methods, and results can be displayed using tables, charts, histograms, and graphs.
Numerical data are organized by a graph.
