Question

Determine which of the four levels of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio) is most appropriate for the data belowVolume of brains in cubic centimetersChoose the correct answer belowA. 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 pointB. The ordinal level of measurement is most appropriate because the data can be ordered, but differences (obtained by subtraction) cannot be found or are meaninglessC. The nominal level of measurement is most appropriate because the data cannot be orderedD. The ratio level of measurement is most appropriate because the data can be ordered, differences can be found and are meaningful, and there is a natural starting zero point

Answer 1

Given: Volume of brains in cubic centimeters.

Because it is talking about volume it is something you can ordered, difference can be found and are meaningful. There is also a natural starting zero point because something can have 0 volume. Like an empty cup. It has no water in it for volume.

Answer:

D. The ratio level of measurement is most appropriate because the data can be ordered, differences can be found and are meaningful, and there is a natural starting zero point
