SELECT ALL THAT APPLY: Which of the following properties of data scales are encompassed by the Ordinal Data Scale? a) Equal Interval b) Magnitude c) Absolute Zero d) Identity

a) Equal Interval b) Magnitude d) Identity

Match the following variable with the proper data scale each would produce in a study. a) Gender (select male, female, or other) b) Height Group of Participants (Tall: over 6 foot. Medium: 5 to 6 foot, Short: less than 5 foot) c) The overall net value of the home you own (are you upside-down and owe more than it's worth or do you owe less than what it is worth?): Enter your value as a negative or positive value here: d) Age (enter your age in a whole number) Choices Are: Ordinal Ratio Nominal Interval

a) Gender= nominal b) Height= Ordinal c) net value home= Interval d) Enter age= Ratio

Which property of a data scale occurs when the ordering of values reflects the order of the trait being measured (like the results of a foot race being 1st = 1, 2nd = 2 and 3rd = 3)? a) Magnitude b) Equal Intervals c) Identity d) Absolute Zero

a) Magnitude

SELECT ALL THAT APPLY: Which of the following properties of data scales are encompassed by the Ordinal Data Scale? a) Magnitude b) Absolute Zero c) Identity d) Equal Interval

b) Interval

Which property of a data scale occurs when a difference of one means the same amount of the trait being measured everywhere on the scale (like the distance between 1 and 3 inches is 2 inches and the distance between 9 and 11 inches is 2 inches)? a) Absolute Zero b) Identity c) Equal Intervals d) Magnitude

c) Equal Intervals

Which property of a data scale occurs when a score of zero indicates a complete absence of the trait being measured (like "age" - you cannot have a negative age)? a) Identity b) Magnitude c) Equal Intervals d) Absolute Zero
