Levels of Measurement

Answers and Rounding Off

Do not round until your final answer. If there is a need to round in middle steps, use twice as many decimal points as your final answer will be. Your final answer should be rounded (not always) to one more decimal point that was present unless stated other wise

Interpreting a Frequency Table

Table 1.13 represents the heights, in inches, of a sample of 100 semiprofessional soccer players.

Nineteen people were asked how many miles, to the nearest mile, they commute to work each day. The data are as follows: 2; 5; 7; 3; 2; 10; 18; 15; 20; 7; 10; 18; 5; 12; 13; 12; 4; 5; 10

Levels of Measurement

  • Nominal scale level- Is qualitative (categorical). This would be categories, names, labels and favorite foods. There is no order and makes no sense to put

  • Ordinal scale level- Is similar to nominal scale, but can be ordered based on a scale. Question like "excellent, good, satisfactory, and unsatisfactory", top 5 parks, or rankings in a race would be an Ordinal scale.

  • Interval scale level- Interval Scale is order matters and there is a difference between the data. Temperature is the most common example. The difference between weather means something, but 0 is not the absolute lowest it can be.

  • Ratio scale level- Ratio is like interval where 0 is the lowest point available. In this case the difference matters and so does multiplying. Test scores would be and example of this

Twenty students were asked how many hours they worked per day. Their responses, in hours, are as follows: 5; 6; 3; 3; 2; 4; 7; 5; 2; 3; 5; 6; 5; 4; 4; 3; 5; 2; 5; 3.

Rounding may cause the final result not to equal to 1, but they should still be close to 1
