Question 1
At which level of measurement can values be placed into categories that are rank-ordered along a continuum from high to low?
  • Interval
  • Ordinal✔️
  • Ratio
  • None of these
Correct Answer Explanation

The ordinal level of measurement allows data to be ranked or ordered (e.g., first, second, third; or high, medium, low), but the intervals between ranks are not necessarily equal. Examples include class rankings, Likert scale ratings, and educational grades as categories.

Correct Answer: B — Ordinal.
