Question

the years that a television show on a particular network won an award for best drama series are as follows: 1953 1977 1984 1986 1989 1993 2001 2006 2007 determine the level of measurement of the data set. explain your reasoning. what is the level of measurement of the data set? explain your reasoning. a. nominal. no mathematical computations can be made. b. ordinal. the data can be arranged in order, or ranked, but differences between data entries are not meaningful. c. ratio. the data can be ordered and differences between data entries are meaningful, and a zero entry is an inherent zero. d. interval. the data can be ordered and differences between data entries are meaningful, but a zero entry is not an inherent zero.

Explanation:

The years in which the television show won the award can be ordered (e.g., 1953 < 1977 etc.) and differences between the years are meaningful (e.g., the time - gap between 1953 and 1977 can be calculated). Also, the year 0 is not an inherent zero in the context of winning an award for a television show. For example, a year 0 does not mean the absence of the concept of winning the award. So, it is an interval - level data.

Answer:

D. Interval. The data can be ordered and differences between data entries are meaningful, but a zero entry is not an inherent zero.
