Question

multiple choice question
which of the following represents data recorded at the nominal level?
○ brand of newly purchased tv.
○ \above average\ rating given by customer at restaurant.
○ the time a patient waits for the doctor.
○ todays high temperature, for example 83 degrees fahrenheit.

Explanation:

Nominal level data is categorical data that labels or categorizes without any inherent order, ranking, or numerical value that can be meaningfully measured.

• "Brand of newly purchased TV" is a category with no inherent order (one brand is not "higher" or "lower" than another).
• "Above average" rating is ordinal data, as it has a ranked order relative to other ratings.
• Wait time for a doctor and temperature are ratio/interval level data, as they are measurable numerical values with meaningful quantities.

Answer:

Brand of newly purchased TV.
