Question

4. (1 point) Determine which of the four levels of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio) is most appropriate for the data below Years in which an Olympics was held Choose the correct answer below. 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 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 zero point 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 nominal level of measurement is most appropriate because the data cannot be ordered

Explanation / Answer

Variable : Years in which Olympic was held

Years can be ordered in increasing or decreasing order.

We can take difference between the year's and which is meaningful.

There is no natural starting zero point for year data.

So, interval scale of measurement is appropriate for the given variable.
