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.
Kernig's Sign β assessment for meningeal irritation:
- Position: Patient supine, flex hip and knee to 90 degrees
- Attempt to extend (straighten) the knee
- Positive sign: Resistance and pain on knee extension (patient cannot straighten leg) β indicates meningeal irritation/meningitis
Other signs of meningitis:
| Sign | Test | Positive Finding |
|---|---|---|
| Brudzinski's sign | Passive neck flexion | Involuntary hip and knee flexion |
| Kernig's sign | Hip flexed, extend knee | Resistance/pain on extension |
| Nuchal rigidity | Passive neck flexion | Resistance/pain (stiff neck) |
Classic triad of bacterial meningitis: fever, neck stiffness, altered consciousness.
$S_n = \dfrac{q^{n+1}-1}{q-1}$. The LHS sum involves $\sum_{k=1}^{101}\binom{101}{k}S_{k-1}$.
After substituting and applying binomial theorem: the sum simplifies using $\sum \binom{101}{k}\frac{q^k-1}{q-1}$.
The result evaluates to $\alpha T_{100}$ where $\alpha = 2^{100}$.
