1. Name and define the four level of measurement.

Thare are four level of measurement. First is the Nominal Level is a measurement or
scale of measure is classification that describe the nature of information within the
values assigned to variables . second its soppurt ranking and ordering of the data
without actually establishing the degree of variation beteween them called Ordinal
Level. Third is Interval level the nominal scale and ordinal scale. And lastly, is the ratio
level which is quanitative in nature.

2. Classify each as nominal-level, ordinal-level, interval level, or ratio-level

Exercises 6
1. Name and define the four basic sampling methods.
a.Random Sampling is a part of the sampling technique in which each sample has
equal probability of being chosen. Random is the simplest forms collecting data from the
total population.
b. Systematic samoling is a statistical method that researcher use to zero down on the
desired population they want to research. It also defined as a probability sampling
method where the researcher choses the elements from target population by selecting a
randpm starting point and selects sample member after a fixed “sampling interval”.
c. Stratified sampling is a type of sampling method in which the total population is
divided into smaller groups or strata to complete the sampling process.
d. Cluster sampling is a probability sampling technique where researcher divide the
population into multiple groups (clusters) for research.

2. Identify each sample as random, systematic, stratified, or cluster.

Cluster a. In a large school district, all teachers from two buildings are interviewed
to determine whether they believe the students have less homework to do now than in
previous years.
Systematic b. Every seventh customer entering a shopping mall is asked to select her
or his favorite store.
Random c. Nursing supervisors are selected using random numbers to determine
annual salaries.
Systematic d. Every 100th hamburger manufactured is checked to determine its fat
content.
Stratified e. Mail carriers of a large city are divided into four groups according to gender
(male or female) and according to whether they walk or ride on their routes. Then 10 are
selected from each group and interviewed to determine whether they have been bitten
by a dog in the last year.
Exercises 7.

1. Identify each study as being either observational or experimental.

Experimental a. Subjects were randomly assigned to two groups, and one group
was given an herb and the other group a placebo. After 6 months, the
numbers of respiratory tract infections each group had were compared.
Observational b. A researcher stood at a busy intersection to see if the color
of the automobile that a person drives is related to running red lights.
Observational c. A researcher finds that people who are more hostile have higher

Experimental d. Subjects are randomly assigned to four groups. Each group is
placed on one of four special diets—a low-fat diet, a high-fish diet, a
combination of low-fat diet and high-fish diet, and a regular diet.
After 6 months, the blood pressures of the groups are compared to
see if diet has any effect on blood pressure.

2. Choose atleast 2 items in # 1 and dentify the independent variable(s) and the
dependent variable for each of the studies.
Indepemdent Variable a. Subjects were randomly assigned to two groups, and one
group was given an herb and the other group a placebo. After 6 months, the
numbers of respiratory tract infections each group had were compared.
Indepemdent Variable b. A researcher stood at a busy intersection to see if the
color of the automobile that a person drives is related to running red lights.
