of measurement use to assign numbers to objects where different numbers indicate different objects into discrete categories.
MEASUREMENT SCALES
Nominal Scale
is categorize data in natural order, also assign numbers (like nominal), but here the numbers also have meaningful order.
MEASUREMENT SCALES
Ordinal Scale
Numbers have order, but there are also equal intervals between adjacent categories or have an order difference between categories is identical.
MEASUREMENT SCALES
Interval Scale
The difference are meaningful, plus ratios are meaningful and there is a true zero point.
