Class rank ( freshman, sophomore, etc ) is a type of which data? A. nominal qualitative B. ordinal qualitative C. discrete quantitative D. continuous quantitative

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Well, freshman - sophomore doesn't make sense?

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

Its its grades

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yes, but they aren't numbers

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

They do follow some order, yes, but they aren't numbers

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

ok but it has to be a qualitative one

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yes, since it is not a number it has to be qualitative.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Do these terms follow some order, though, or are they just names?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

This is not same as "apples" and "oranges", correct?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

So would you choose "ordinal" or "nominal"

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

?

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

hmmm! I think ordinal

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, you are thinking correctly.
