A.ratio B.nominal C.ordinal D.interval

Answer 1

Although the question besically belong to Statistics and not Finance, I am providing the answer for the same.

Cassidy is researching the impacts of eating breakfast on college students who have classes prior to 9 am. And, she wanted to use the measurement scale to put on a scale of 1 through 10.

She wanted to put in order to understand the behaviour pattern of the sample class and the best type of measurement scale to be used here is ORDINAL SCALE.

Hence the Option C (Ordinal Scale) works best here.

Hope it clarifies the doubt.
