Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number on a football jersey is a nominal scale of measurement because the numbers are simply labels and do not represent any numerical order. Temperature measured on the Fahrenheit scale is an interval scale of measurement because the differences between temperatures are meaningful but there is no true zero point. Therefore, choice D (nominal; interval) is the best option.
