Given: The level of measurement1. Nominal level2. Ordinal level3. Interval levelIt is asked to find what kind of measurement scale is appropriate for the following information.1. Eye color A nominal measurement scale is appropriate since the eye color can be any color. Since it can take multiple values and there is no clarity on which to fit the different values. Hence we will use the nominal variable. 2. Gender A nominal measurement scale is appropriate because a nominal scale is used to label names. Also, the nominal scale is used for the categorical variable and we know that gender can be derived into categories which are male, female.  3. Race A nominal measurement scale is appropriate, there are different types of the race for example, Asian, white, black, etc.  It means that race can be categorized and different types of race have label names thus nominal measurement scale is appropriate.
