b ratio

c ordinal

d nominal

Answer 1

Answer in detail with explanation is below. Let me know in case you've any doubts. Have a good week!

The length of time required to check in people arriving at a local hotel is an example of of ratio scale

Ratio scale because:

1. It is a continuous variable

2. A 0 values exists for this scale. because length of time to check in arriving people can be 0 theoritically

Since an interval scale has no true zero point, this variable is NOT a interval scale variable, So, A is wrong.

This is not a categorical variable, as time duration is a continuous variable, hence C and D are wrong, because ordinal and nominal are categorical variable

Answer: B is correct
