Quiz - Classification of Data

Identify the Level of Measurement described below:

Classifies data into mutually exclusive (nonoverlapping), exhausting categories in which no order or ranking can be imposed on the data. This type of data commonly used for naming, classification and identification.

• Nominal

• Ordinal

• Interval

• Ration

CCSS.HSS.ID.A.4

Identify the Level of Measurement described below:

Ranks data, and precise differences between units of measure do exist; however, there is no true starting point (meaningful zero). Data can be ordered. Differences between data values can be compared.

• Nominal

• Ordinal

• Interval

• Ratio

A researcher asks participants to complete a happiness rating scale where participate rate how happy they feel on a scale of 1-10. What level of measurement did they obtain?

• Nominal data

• Interval data

• Ordinal data

• Ratio Data

What type of data is the number of animals in a zoo?

• Continuous Data

• Nominal Data

• Discrete Data

• Ordinal Data

What is Continuous Data?

• Data that can only take on specific values

• Data that can take on any value within a given range

• Data that is categorical in nature

• Data that is always whole numbers

What is the main difference between discrete and continuous data?

• Discrete data consists of distinct values, while continuous data can take any value within a range.

• Discrete data can take any value within a range, while continuous data consists of distinct values.

• Discrete data is always numerical, while continuous data is always categorical.

• Discrete data is measured in intervals, while continuous data is counted in whole numbers.
