Chapter 6. Makes sure in your response below to explain the difference between each through the use of an example. The four main types of scales indentified in chapter 6 are the nominal level of measurement‚ ordinal level of measurement‚ interval level of measurement‚ and the ratio level of measurement. The nominal level of measurement is defined by the text as the characteristics of an outcome that fits into one and only one class or category or by their names solely.

Question1 Quantitative data are measures of values or counts and are expressed as numbers (www.abs.gov.au). In other words‚ quantitative data are data about numeric variables (www.abs.gov.au). Four types of quantitative data are interval‚ nominal‚ ordinal and ratio. Firstly‚ interval scales are numeric scales in which we know not only the order‚ but also the exact differences between the values (www.mymarketresearchmethods.com). Other than that‚ interval data also sometimes called integer is measured
