Question

Determine which of the four levels of measurement  is most appropriate.
-The temperatures of eight different plastic spheres.
A)Ordinal
B)Nominal
C)Interval
D)Ratio

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The temperatures of eight different plastic spheres are best described using the interval level of measurement because temperatures can be ordered and the differences between them are meaningful. However, there is no true zero point (where zero does not mean the absence of temperature, as in the case of Celsius or Fahrenheit scales), distinguishing it from the ratio level.
