Question

A group of women tried five brands of fingernail polish and ranked them according to preference. What level of measurement is this? Select one: a. Nominal b. Ordinal c. Interval d. Ratio

Answer 1

option B

Explanation:

The level of measurement describes the nature of the information assigned to variables within the values.

If the interval is meaningful but the ratio is not, then we can say that the data is an interval level of measurement.

If interval and ratio are meaningful then we can say that data is at the ratio level of measurement.

Ordinal level of measurement is the method of ranking system. Like in the given statement woman tried to rank the nail polish.

Hence, the correct answer is option B
