Question

study before answering
which two of the following options best describe ordinal
data?
select one or more
numeric data
categorical data
data that has an explicit ordering
data that does not have a meaningful
order

Explanation:

Ordinal data is a type of categorical data where there is a clear order or ranking among the categories. For example, in a survey asking about satisfaction levels (e.g., very dissatisfied, dissatisfied, neutral, satisfied, very satisfied), there is an explicit ordering. It is not just numeric data in the sense of having numerical values for arithmetic operations. Also, it does have a meaningful order (contrary to the option stating it does not).

Answer:

B. Categorical data, C. Data that has an explicit ordering
