Determine which of the four levels of measurement (nominal,
ordinal, interval, ratio) is most appropriate for the data
below.
Internet speed levels of "fast," "medium", "slow"
A. The ratio level of measurement is most appropriate because
the data can be ordered, differences (obtained by subtraction) can
be found and are meaningful, and there is a natural starting
point.
B. The nominal level of measurement is most appropriate because
the data cannot be ordered.
C. The ordinal level of measurement is most appropriate because
the data can be ordered, but differences (obtained by subtraction)
cannot be found or are meaningless.
D. The interval level of measurement is most appropriate because
the data can be ordered, differences (obtained by subtraction) can
be found and are meaningful, and there is no natural starting
point.
