2. The number of students in a statistics course  Ratio

Step-by-step explanation:

Nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio data are the four fundamental levels of measurement scales that are used to capture data.

Nominal, are used for labeling variables, without any quantitative value.

Ordinal, the order of the values is what is significant, but the differences between each one is not really known.

Interval, we know both, the order and the exact differences between the values

Ratio, they have the order, the exact value between units, and have an absolute zero
