Numeral pronouns are used to indicate the quantity of objects, people, etc that we are talking about in the sentence. We distinguish two types of numeral pronouns: Cardinal and ordinal. Cardinal numeral pronouns tell us just the number of objects, etc. Eg.:
I have four books. Well, I have five. (Tengo cuatro libros. Pues, yo tengo cinco)
Ordinal numeral pronouns tell us the order they occupy in a series. Eg.:
My project is the fourth that it is going to be presented. Mine is the fifth. (Mi proyecto es el cuarto que va a ser presentado. El mío es el quinto)
In the first example, the pronoun "five" substitutes the noun "books" and just indicates the number of books that that person possesses. In the second example, the pronoun "fifth" substitutes the noun "project" and indicates the order that "project" has in a series.
*Note: numeral pronouns will only be pronouns and not adjectives when a noun that they determine does not follow them.
"One" is a cardinal number, while "first" is an ordinal number.
Work experience is typically considered an ordinal variable. This is because it can be ranked or ordered based on the number of years or level of experience (e.g., entry-level, mid-level, senior-level), but the differences between the categories are not uniform or measurable in a precise numerical sense. For instance, the difference in skill or competency between one year of experience and five years isn't necessarily equivalent to that between five and ten years.
Ordinal data has an inherent order, i.e. ranking, in its possible values. For example 'poor, fair, good, excellent' is ordinal becaused there is an assumption that the four possible values are higher from one to the next. It can be coded as 1,2,3,4 but there is no assumption of equal spacing. Nominal data has no inherent ranking, only labeling-e.g. 'apple, strawberry, orange'. The choices are three levels with no assumed value. Any numerical coding does not reflect any quantitative meaning. Georgette Asherman, Direct Effects, LLC
An ordinal scale is a method of categorising observation according to a scheme in which there is a sense of ordering between categories but the difference between categories is variable and unspecified. For example, the scale {strongly disagree, disagree, neither disagree nor agree, agree, strongly disagree}.
Ordinal numbers suggest order such as first, second, third etc. Cardinal numbers are counting numbers. One, two, three, etc.
A numerical pronoun can be either cardinal number (one, two) or and ordinal number (first, second) used to take the place of nouns in a sentence. Examples:Jane bought tomatoes, but two were bad.The red car was first and the green car was second.One will be enough.Note: When a number is placed before a noun, it is a numerical adjective that describes the noun; example: Junior is in the second grade.
A continuous variable is one which can take any numerical value over some interval. An ordinal variable is one that can take non-numerical or categoric values which can be put into some logical order but where the difference between successive categories cannot be quantified. One example may be Small-Medium-Large, or a popular one among opinion pollsters: Disagree Strongly-Disagree-Agree-Agree Strongly.

"One" is a cardinal number, while "first" is an ordinal number.
False. Data at the ordinal level can be either quantitative or qualitative. In ordinal data, the categories have a meaningful order or rank, but the difference between the categories is not necessarily equal.
A difference is that with ordinal utility approaches, you cannot numerically measure the level of consumer satisfaction. With cardinal utility approaches, you can to an extent.

Both cardinal and ordinal utility approaches are used in economics to understand consumer preferences and choices. They both aim to measure utility, or satisfaction, derived from goods and services, allowing for comparisons between different bundles. While cardinal utility assigns specific numerical values to utility, suggesting a measurable difference in satisfaction, ordinal utility focuses on ranking preferences without quantifying the differences. Despite this distinction, both approaches serve to explain how consumers make decisions based on their preferences.
Grades such as A, B, and C are not considered interval data; they are typically classified as ordinal data. This is because grades represent a ranked order (A is better than B, which is better than C) but do not have a consistent numerical difference between them. For example, the difference in performance between an A and a B may not be the same as between a B and a C. Interval data, on the other hand, must have equal intervals between values and a meaningful zero point, which grades do not possess.
