Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A. The correct answer is "A" because levels of measurement tell us what sorts of information we can gain from the scores assigned to values of the variables. For example, the nominal measures can only give us information about exhaustiveness and mutual exclusiveness. These measures cannot be logically ordered. The distance between one and the other values of the nominal measures cannot be precisely measured. Ordinal variables can be logically ordered.
B. This is incorrect because levels of measurement tell us what sorts of information we can gain from the scores assigned to values of the variables not the categories of the level of measurement.
C. This is incorrect because levels of measurement tell us what sorts of information we can gain from the scores assigned to values of the variables not the categories of the level of measurement not the attributes of a concept.
D. This is incorrect because levels of measurement tell us what sorts of information we can gain from the scores assigned to values of the variables not the categories of the level of measurement, not the conceptual measures of research
