b. Are these data discrete or continuous?
c. What is the highest level of measurement the data possesses?

Answer 1

Answer:

Qualitative data

Neither discrete or continous

Ordinal

Step-by-step explanation:

Qualitative data simply refers to Non-numeric measure, they make use of data labels which are expressed in words rather than figures or numbers.

For a data to be either discrete or continous, then it has to be numeric, since the data is qualitative and non- numeric, then it is neither continous or discrete.

This is an ordinal scale representation of data as data are ordered or ranked in terms of performance, however, there is no measure of difference between each rank or order. The highest level of performance in the scale is Excellent.
