I am not sure if I understand your question. I will rephrase it to: Should data collected on the ages of persons in a group be consider as nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio data? It is ratio. Now, let's try another question. A study finds that people with names beginning with the letter "a-k" are older than people with letters "l-z". In this case, the data collected on names in nominal data, but the ages are still ratio data.

Can you give you some examples of categorical data?
Race, Sex, Age group, education level, hair color... Good examples but we might elaborate: we may give categories names. Take for example the variable, hair color. We might name each of the categories like this: red, blonde, black, etc. In this case we would have nominal categorical variables. Further we can think or categorical variables as being ordered such as income level: high, medium, low, very low or socioeconomic class: low, middle, high. These are called ordinal categorical variables because they represent levels and are grouped in levels say from high to low. As another example you might group temperature levels (categories) as cold, cool, warm and hot. So you have nominal categorical variables and ordinal categorical variables. We like to put things into categories. We have classrooms, offices, addresses, etc. We have grade levels in school. What type of categorical variables is "grade"? I graduated from the 3rd grade but my father graduated from the sixth grade. Who has the highest level of education? Why do we categorize things in the world? We group things so we can make sense of the diversity around us. We catgorize animals into species; we even name people when they are born. Is a person's name a variable? Sure is! It's nominal variable. Why is a person's name a variable? Because name changes or varies from person to person. What about the number of people in a classroom. Is that a categorical variable?name of the school

Express age group of person as nominal and ordinal data?
Age group voting patterns in the last presidential election would be an example of nominal data. Take the age groups and describe if they tended to vote Democrat, Republican, Independent, and so on. Another example is take the same age groups and determine the brand of cars they typically purchase such as GM, Ford, Toyota, Kia and so forth. Ordinal data example would be to take the same age groups as above and determine highest percentage of education level (say from the Department of Education statistics) from the group such as High School, Technical School, Bachelor Degree, Master Degree, or Doctorate Degree (MD, PhD). Or, take the age same groups and ask then how they think Obama is doing as president: Good, Neutral, or Poor.
