Explanation / Answer

1 ans-community income using a white middle class sample-Systemic error- that occurs consistently in one direction,

2 ans-Severity of cancer at diagnosis in a community, using patients in a county hospital-Syetemic error

3 ans-Average body weight measured at work at noon-Random error-Error that is the difference between the measurement and true value of a variable that is without a pattern.

4 ans-Blood pressure taken with equipment that consistently measures the blood pressure low-Syetemic error

5ans-Scores on drug calculation tests taken in the morning in a classroom-Random.

a-Nominal-2-Gender,5- Type of cancer,8-Diagnosis of dyslipidemia,18-Hospital vs. hospice,20 merital status

b-ordinal-Educational level,Severity of illness level,Amount of stress measured with a likert scale,  Pain level ranking,Salary ranges

c-interval-temperature,Amount of stress measured with a likert scale.

d- ans-Ratio- Final ex@m grade of 90%, Score from visual analog scale,Height, Percentage of weight gain,Hemoglobin level,BMI, Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, Years of work experience, Percentile score on an exam.
