i think it is qualitative

anonymous · Answer

because there are categories of incomes

anonymous · Answer

but i'm not sure if it is ordinal or nominal

anonymous · Answer

I think it is ordinal because the amount of money matters

Sneak one.  It is qualitative, if you use ONLY the name or some designation representing the name.  If you start using the actual marginal tax rate for something, that might be a different story,  Good.

Tax brackets only go in one direction.  I'd go with Ordinal.  Order matters.

my next data is grade letter in algebra

anonymous · Answer

i think it is qualitative and ordinal as well

Same thing.  Once you translate your Grade to a Grade Point, in order to calculate a Grade Point Average, it switches to Quantitative.
