Question

Find Nominal, Ordinal and Ratio values from the given hypothetical scenario:

A and B decided to take part in 10^thannual Tennis tournament in 2012 held at the University, which ranks 88th in the nation for getting over or around 513 execrators for the tournament every year. B played at the spot for player 180 and A played at 116, they both played singles and doubles and in singles A lost with 4 sets losing to the opponent 325 with 2sets. B did won her singles by 5 to 3 against 426.

In the double, they both played against players C 325 and D 426, and they won 5 sets with 1 loses consecutively.

Answer 1

The game being played as singles and doubles fall under nominal scale as they cannot be placed in an order.

The ranking of the tennis tournament as 88th , the tournament being the 10th annual tournament and the spot numbers given to the players fall under ordinal scale as they can be placed in a specific order.

The sets that the players win and lose fall under ratio scale as arithmetic operations ,specially division can be performed on them. For example we can divide the number of sets won to the number of sets played to determine the probability of winning a set.
