Question

Which one of the following is valid for ordinal-level data?

Observations of a quantitative variable where differences between measures are constant in size (for example: temperature, women's dress sizes, ...).

Data that can be measured using a continuous variable (for example: weight, height, ...).

Observations of a qualitative variable that can only be classified and counted (for example: colors, brand names, ...).

Qualitative data that have a natural or implied order that allows it to be easily ranked (for example: ratings such as below average, average, and above average)

Explanation / Answer
