Best Answer

Nominal values are the values that a component is specified to be.

For example, the nominal value of a 10K resistor is 10K.

Its actual value may vary, though, based on its tolerance.

What is nominal line voltage?

'Nominal' means 'named'. So a 'nominal' voltage is the named voltage of a system. For example, when we talk about a 120-V or 240-V system, we are describing their nominal values, not their actual values which can change from moment to moment.

What is the difference between real income and money income?

In economics, the nominal values of something are its money values in different years. Real values adjust for differences in the price level in those years. Examples include a bundle of commodities, such as Gross Domestic Product, and income. For a series of nominal values in successive years, different values could be because of differences in the price level. But nominal values do not specify how much of the difference is from changes in the price level. Real values remove this ambiguity. Real values convert the nominal values as if prices were constant in each year of the series. Any differences in real values are then attributed to differences in quantities of the bundle or differences in the amount of goods that the money incomes could buy in each year....

What is precision resistor?

A precision resistor is a resistor that has an actual value that is very close (or precise) to its nominal (or stated value). Therefore, precision resistors have a very degree of accuracy of being very close to their nominal values.


What is The actual numerical value assigned to nominal level variable?

The whole point of a nominal variable is that is has no numerical value associated with it. With a binary measure you can allocated the values 1 and 0 or +1 and -1 for observations where the attribute is present or absent. If there are more than 2 values that the nominal variable can take then you can allocate any numbers that you want but in all cases the numbers do not have a value: they are simply symbols which can help for sorting and for binary comparisons.


When a scale has a true zero it is a nominal scale?

No. When a scale has a true zero it is called a ratio scale. Examples are age, income, etc. In a nominal scale values are simply labels. For example, gender, colours, etc. We may code these with numbers but the numbers have no inherent meaning and the values chosen do not imply any ordering.


Is a nominal variable a discrete variable?

No. A discrete variable is one that takes discrete numerical values. But a discrete variable can be ordered while a nominal one cannot. Age, in years, is a discrete variable, and you can say that a 10-year old is younger than a 20-year old who is younger than a 40-year old. Favourite fruit would generate a nominal variable but you cannot say that a banana is more than an apple which, in turn, is more than an orange, etc. (Remember, you are talking only of the nominal values of the fruit - not their price or size or nutritional value or any such characteristic.)
