Question 6

Nominal level of measurent

Answer 6

Data that consists of names, labels, or categories only. The data cannot be arranged in an ordering scheme

Question 7

Ordinal level of measurement

Answer 7

Data that can be arranged in some order, but the difference between the data values either cannot be determined or are meanigless

Question 8

Interval level of measurent
