Variable types
what are examples of ratio variables?
- MC questions - surveys - measurement, e.g. height/weight
examples of ordinal variables are: ...
- interval scales - likert scales
examples of nominal variables are: ...
- names - gender - email address
what are examples of interval variables?
- temperature - time - IQ - SATs
ordinal variables can have numerical values, but they don't have to e.g. ...
1 = very satisfied, 5 = not satisfied or not numbered at all
... variable is a type of measurement variable that takes values with an order or rank. It is the 2nd level of measurement and is an extension of the nominal variable.
Ordinal
Due to the absolute point characteristics of a ratio variable, it doesn't have ... like an interval variable.
a negative number
ratio variables have .... That is, all the levels in the ratio scale has an equal distance.
an intrinsic order with an equidistant scale
Ordinal variable is a type of measurement variable that takes values with .... It is the 2nd level of measurement and is an extension of the nominal variable.
an order or rank
interval variables take numeric values and may be classified as a ... variable type.
continuous
The interval variable is a measurement variable that is used to ...
define values measured along a scale, with each point placed at an equal distance from one another
The ... variable is a measurement variable that is used to define values measured along a scale, with each point placed at an equal distance from one another.
interval
what are the 2 types of continuous variables?
interval & ratio
The ordinal variable has an ... while nominal variables do not have an order
intrinsic order
the ratio variable is the ... form
most complex
A nominal variable is a type of variable that is used to ... particular attributes that are being measured. It takes qualitative values representing different categories, and there is no intrinsic ordering of these categories.
name, label or categorise
A ... variable is a type of variable that is used to name, label or categorise particular attributes that are being measured. It takes qualitative values representing different categories, and there is no intrinsic ordering of these categories.
nominal
what are the 2 types of categorical variable?
nominal & ordinal
Interval variables are one of the 2 types of ... and are an extension of the ordinal variable.
numerical variables
They are built upon nominal scales by assigning numbers to objects to reflect a rank or ordering on an attribute. Also, there is no standard ordering.
ordinal variables
Ratio variable is the ... variable in statistical analysis. It allows for the addition, interaction, multiplication, and division of variables.
peak type of measurement
A nominal variable is ..., which means numbers are used here only to categorise or identify objects
qualitative
ordinal variables measure ...
qualitative traits
A nominal variable is a type of variable that is used to name, label or categorise particular attributes that are being measured. It takes ..., and there is no intrinsic ordering of these categories.
qualitative values representing different categories
The ... variable is an extension of the interval variable and is also the peak of the measurement variable types.
ratio
The only difference between the ratio variable and interval variable is that the ...
ratio variable already has a zero value
ordinal variables have no ...
standardised interval scale
The variables are measured using an interval scale, which shows ...
the order but also shows the exact difference in the value.
The responses to a nominal variable can be divided into .... For example, gender is a nominal variable that can take responses male/female
two or more categories
interval variables have no ...
zero value
