Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Ordinal measurement ranks people on relative standing on an attribute. Levels of education signify incremental ability as related to educational degree completed. Heart Association classification indicates level of heart health. Gender and ethnicity are variables measured by nominal measurement. Age and body mass index would be associated with ratio measurement. Scores on a self-care index would be examples of interval measurement.
