Question

A manager was asked to rate the performance of his employees on a scale of 1 to 6. A 1 means that the performance is awful while a 6 means that it is excellent. The measurement level of this data is _______. ratio level data nominal level data ordinal level data interval level data relative level data

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: ordinal level data

Explanation:

An ordinal level of measurement indicates some ordered relationship among the variables´ measurement. For example, you can assign an ordered level of sizes to food portions; small, medium, large, extra large.

In this example, a number 1 means its an awful performance, but as the numbers ascend in order, 2 through 6, the performance level gets better. We could assign an ordinal level to the other numbers; for instance a 2 may mean bad performance, a 3 may mean regular or average performance, a 4 may mean better than average, a 5 may mean good, up to 6 which means excellent performance.
