Determine which of the four levels of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio) is most appropriate for the data below.Blood lead levels of low, medium, and highChoose the correct answer below.A. The nominal level of measurement is most appropriate because the data cannot be ordered.B. The ordinal level of measurement is most appropriate because the data can be ordered, but differences (obtained by subtraction) cannot be found or are meaningless.C. The ratio level of measurement is most appropriate because the data can be ordered, differences (obtained by subtraction) can be found and are meaningful, and there is a natural starting point.D. The interval level of measurement is most appropriate because the data can be ordered, differences (obtained by subtraction) can be found and are meaningful

Question

Determine which of the four levels of measurement​ (nominal, ordinal,​ interval, ratio) is most appropriate for the data below.Blood lead levels of low, medium, and highChoose the correct answer below.A. The nominal level of measurement is most appropriate because the data cannot be ordered.B. The ordinal level of measurement is most appropriate because the data can be ordered, but differences (obtained by subtraction) cannot be found or are meaningless.C. The ratio level of measurement is most appropriate because the data can be ordered, differences (obtained by subtraction) can be found and are meaningful, and there is a natural starting point.D. The interval level of measurement is most appropriate because the data can be ordered, differences (obtained by subtraction) can be found and are meaningful

Solution:The scale of measurement could  be classified into four type 1) Nominal 2) Ordinal 3) Interval 4) Ratio Here we need to determine the type of scale of measurement of blood levels.The blood levels  of low , medium and high . This is an example of ordinal scale of measurement. The ordinal level of measurement is most appropriate because the data can be ordered, but differences (obtained by subtraction) cannot be found or are meaningless.Option B is Correct
