Answer 1

Answer:  ordinal

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 levels of measurements scales :-

1. Nominal scale : It is used when we categorize the data on the basis of the characteristic such as Religion, Gender , etc.

2. Ordinal scale : It is used when we can order attributes according to their ranks. For example : First > Second > Third and so on.

3. Interval scale : It provides the characteristic of the difference between any two categories. For example : Fahrenheit scale to measure temperature.

4. Ratio scale : It has all the qualities of nominal, ordinal, and interval measures and in addition a "true zero" point. For example : Age.

From the above definitions , A level of measurement describing a variable whose attributes are rank-ordered and have equal distances between adjacent attributes are ordinal measures.
