    This document provides an overview of different scales of measurement used in statistics, including nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio scales. It presents examples of variables that fall under each scale of measurement and whether certain mathematical operations can be performed on values from each scale. It also describes a study that examined reading ability in kindergarten students and asks the reader to identify the scale of measurement for each variable in the study and whether an interval scale can be converted to ordinal or nominal scales.

    Tutorial 1: SCALE OF MEASUREMENT

    QUESTION 1

    Matching the statement with the related scale of measurement. The first is an example.

    Statement: Nominal Ordinal Interval Ratio


    The ‘order’ of values is known. / / /
    “Counts,” aka “Frequency of Distribution”.
    Mode
    Median
    Mean
    Can quantify the difference between each value.
    Can add or subtract values
    Can multiple and divide values
    Has “true zero”

    QUESTION 2

    A study on ability of reading among the kindergarten students was conducted. Several variables
    were identify to predict the students’ ability of reading. The following are the variables being
    applied: gender, ranking of achievement in class, readiness of reading, IQ, and weight of student.

    (i) Identify the scale of measurement for each variables in this study.
    (ii)Can we change interval scale of measurement into ordinal and nominal? If yes, give an
    example.
