Data levels:
1. Nominal, “Red, White, Blue”
2. Ordinal, “Small, Medium, Large”
3. Interval, “Degrees Celsius”
4. Ratio, “Income, 0 is starting point”

Likert- Scale  pseudo- interval, therefore level four.

Quantitative Variables  Descriptive statistics. (mean, SD, error, so on).

Qualitative Variables  Frequency table, ( number of times a certain number

occurred).

Spearman Rank-order Correlation, need two variables, ordinal/interval/ratio,

but all values are transformed into ordinal.

One-Way ANOVA is always two-sided and always equal variance.

Type one error: Rejecting a null hypothesis when you shouldn’t

Type two error: Fail to reject falls null hypothesis.
