Finally, what kind of data is 'jersey no.' and 'mobile no.' ?

Categorical or numerical??

And why so??

It will be numerical because you can not group them.

Hello Debashis,

Jersey number and mobile number is not numerical data. It comes under the categorical data. For the explanation, you can refer week 1 FAQ. 

Thank you
