Answer 1

ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS:

• Philadelphia’s daily temperatures for the month of March are collected. This is an example of ratio level data?

Ans.) FALSE. (Daily temp. is an example of interval level data.)

• More types of mathematical calculations can be performed with data at the nominal level than data at an interval level.

Ans.) FLASE ( SInce, A nominal scale measurement normally deals only with non-numeric (quantitative) variables or where numbers have no value, hence more type of mathematical calculations can be performed with data at the interval level.)

• The average annual salary for all registered nurses in the hospital was $500,000 per year. The average salary of $500,000 per year represents a parameter?

Ans.) TRUE ( Since a parameter is any numerical quantity that characterizes a given population or some aspect of it.)
