Question

the data from your study are billies rankings for how loudly she hears different colors (e.g., red = most loud, blue = least loud). your data is what type of data: nominal ordinal interval ratio

Explanation:

• Nominal data is just for naming or categorizing (e.g., gender: male/female). Here, there is a ranking, so it's not nominal.
• Ordinal data has a natural order or ranking (e.g., rankings like 1st, 2nd, 3rd). Billie's rankings of colors by how loudly she hears them (red = most loud, blue = least loud) show an order.
• Interval data has equal intervals between values but no true zero (e.g., temperature in Celsius). This is not the case here.
• Ratio data has a true zero and equal intervals (e.g., height, weight). This is not applicable here.

Answer:

ordinal
