Nominal
nominal and ordinal
The nominal scale.
Yes.
The four types of scales are: Nominal Scale. Ordinal Scale. Interval Scale. Ratio Scale.
The three common temperature scales—Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin—each have their advantages and disadvantages. Celsius is widely used in most countries and is well-suited for scientific contexts, but it can be less intuitive for everyday use in regions that use Fahrenheit. Fahrenheit is more relatable for everyday weather in the U.S., but it complicates scientific calculations. Kelvin is essential for scientific research, especially in thermodynamics, but its use is limited outside of scientific fields, making it less accessible for general public understanding.
Advantages of the rating scalesGraphic rating scales are less time consuming to develop.They also allow for quantitative comparisonMany organizations use graphic rating scales because they are easy to use and cost little to develop.HR professionals can develop such forms quicklyDisadvantages of graphing rating scaleDifferent supervisors will use the same graphic scales in slightly different ways(YASIR)
The correct order of scales of measurement from least precise to most precise is nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. Nominal scales categorize data without a specific order, ordinal scales rank data but do not specify the magnitude of differences between ranks. Interval scales provide meaningful differences between values but lack a true zero point, while ratio scales include a true zero and allow for the comparison of absolute magnitudes.
Advantages of sulphamic acid as a descaler include its effectiveness in removing scales, its compatibility with various materials like metals, concrete, and ceramics, and its biodegradability. Disadvantages may include its potential to irritate skin and eyes if not handled properly, and its limited effectiveness against certain types of tough scale deposits.
Advantages: Beam balances are precise and offer accurate measurements, especially for small masses. They do not rely on batteries or electricity to function, making them reliable in various settings. They can also be cost-effective compared to electronic scales. Disadvantages: Beam balances typically have limited capacity for weighing larger masses. They can be slower to use compared to electronic scales, as readings may require more time to stabilize. They also require careful handling and maintenance to ensure accuracy.
Zikmund (2003) described the nominal scale as "a scale in which the numbers or letters assigned to objects serve as labels for identification or classification" (p. 296). The ordinal scale is "a scale that arranges objects or alternatives according to their magnitudes" (Zikmund, 2003, p. 297). Both nominal and ordinal scales are typically utilized in cross-tabulation analysis. (Other types of scalar data would include interval or ratio).http://www.quickmba.com/marketing/research-is another website describing nominal and ordinal scales as used for cross-tabulation.Zikmund, W.

One possible opposite of a numerical scale is a "nominal" scale. In the study of statistics, we use four "scales of measurement": nominal; ordinal; interval; ratio. The "nominal," scale, which simply names categories, is, in a sense, non-numerical. On "nominal" scales, people or objects with the same attribute are assigned the same scale-value. Examples of categories on nominal scales are ethnicity, gender, marital status, styles of housing, models of cars. For example, a nominal scale of "marital status" might be numbered as follows: 1. Single, never married. 2. Single, previously married. 3. Married. Although we may count the number of people (or items) in each category, the numerals assigned to the "nominal" scale have no 'numeric' meaning in the way that we usually think about numbers. On that view, a nominal scale may be said to be non-numerical and, therefore, the opposite of a numerical scale. Actually, integers form a subset of numbers, not the other way around.
