Those four data types (nominal/ordinal/interval/ratio) are a very common classification, by the way. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_o... They're not without criticism, but they're still widely taught, 80 years later.

Hopkins has covered two of the four types correctly, defined another one implicitly but mostly misplaced it, & completely omitted the fourth. I'm not saying the classification is sacred, but it is widely used. I think covering it incompletely risks confusing their students.
