Read the following situations. Then order them in the sequence of nominal, ordinal, equal interval, and ratio:

A. Eggs in the supermarket are graded as small, medium, large, and jumbo.

B. Employees are assigned identification numbers.

C. Achievement motivation of hockey players.

D. Players' height.

Correct option is B

The correct sequence of nominal, ordinal, equal interval, and ratio is:

1. B. Employees are assigned identification numbers (Nominal):
• Nominal scales classify data into categories without any order (e.g., ID numbers are labels without rank).
2. A. Eggs in the supermarket are graded as small, medium, large, and jumbo (Ordinal):
• Ordinal scales represent data with an inherent order but no fixed intervals between ranks (e.g., egg sizes).
3. C. Achievement motivation of hockey players (Equal Interval):
• Equal interval scales have measurable intervals between data points but no true zero point (e.g., psychological test scores).
4. D. Players' height (Ratio):
• Ratio scales have a true zero point, allowing for comparison of absolute magnitudes (e.g., height measured in centimeters).
