Hi,

For Numeric type attribute

To allow you to organize related numeric values within a single named attribute, a numeric attribute can be defined as having up to five ratings, each of which shares the single, common attribute definition. Each rating is a standard Windows checkbox; click on it to toggle each rating on and off. The five ratings are listed in the table below; the default is Nominal. - From Reference guide

This means one numeric attribute can be used to enter 5 different values because of its rating property.

For Coupled Numeric type attribute

Unlike text and numeric attributes, a coupled numeric attribute has not just one but two names: the standard attribute name that is the name for the first primary dimension, and the coupled name that is the name for the second coupled dimension. - From Reference Guide

E.g. 20kms in 5mins - There are two dimensions distance and time. To represent this type of data coupled numeric attribute type is used.
