Question
Determine which of the four levels of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio is most appropriate.Body temperatures (in degrees Fahrenheit) listed in Data Set 3 "Body Temperatures" in Appendix B
Step 1
Nominal level of measurement is used for categorical data and does not involve any order or structure. Ordinal level of measurement involves some order or ranking. Interval level of measurement involves numerical responses where the difference between the two Show more…

Types of Data
Determine which of the four levels of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio) is most appropriate for the data below. Body temperature in degrees Fahrenheit Choose the correct answer below. A. The nominal level of measurement is most appropriate because the data cannot be ordered. B. 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. C. The interval level of measurement is most appropriate because the data can be ordered, differences can be found and are meaningful, and there is no natural starting zero point. D. 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.
