I've included a couple of links which should explain better the differences among the four levels of measurement: Nominal, Ordinal, Interval and Ratio. The nominal level can be thought of as the "name" level.
I'll give you an example of nominal level of measurement. Perhaps you are collecting data on the types of cars that go through an intersection. You classify the vehicles passing by as trucks, cars and motorcycles and count how many of each pass by.
Ordinal is the "order" level, where some natural order of data is possible. The difference between measurements has no physical meaning.
An example of ordinal level of measurement. A hospital asks in the emergency room, for patients to describe their pain on a level of 1 to 10, which 10 being the most severe.
As given in the first link, it is interesting that there is not complete agreement on this system of classification.
What else can I help you with?
Is age nominal or ordinal?
Ordinal. Though more likely interval or even ratio scale.
Are multiple choice tests based on a ratio scale?
Multiple choice tests are not based on a ratio scale; they are typically considered nominal or ordinal scales. The responses represent categories (nominal) or ranked preferences (ordinal), but do not provide meaningful intervals or a true zero point, which are essential characteristics of a ratio scale. In a ratio scale, both differences and ratios between values have significance, which is not applicable to multiple choice answers.
What is Gingival Index is it ordinal nominal ratio or integer?
It is an ordinal since gingival index uses 0-3 scale
How many different levels of measurement for variables exist?
Nominal or category;Ordinal scale;Interval scale; andRatio scale.
There are three ways to represent a scale what are they?
The three ways to represent a scale are nominal, ordinal, and interval/ratio scales. Nominal scales categorize data without a specific order, such as labels or names. Ordinal scales indicate a rank order among categories, reflecting relative positions but not measurable differences between them. Interval and ratio scales provide measurable differences between values, with interval scales having equal distances between points and ratio scales containing a true zero point, allowing for meaningful comparison of magnitudes.
