    Dear Collegues AoA!

    As You Know that all of us are presently dealing with data, in one or other form.
    For meaningful operation at the four levels of measurement, we must understand
    that some data can only be catgorized but cannot be ordered, while other data can be categorized as well as oredered,Still there are some data which can be categorized, ordered and also subtracted.
    There is another fourth type of data which in addition to the above levels of measurement can also be shown as multiple of another data

    For Example


    Level of measurement

    Put data in categories

    Arrange data in order

    Subtract data value

    Determine if one data is a multiple of another

    Nominal

    Yes

    No

    No

    No

    Ordinal

    Yes

    Yes

    No

    No

    Interval

    Yes

    Yes

    Yes

    No

    Ratio

    Yes

    Yes

    Yes

    Yes




    Example of data set

    Meaningful Calculations

    Nominal Level

    (Qualitative data)

    Major PGA Tournaments

    The masters

    The US Open

    The British open

    Major PGA Championship




    Put in category.

    For example there are four

    Categories of major PGA

    Tournaments.

    Ordinal Level

    (Qualitative or Quantitative data)

    Motion Picture Association of America

    Rating Description

    G General Audience

    PG Parents Guidance Suggested

    PG-13 Parents strongly Cautioned

    R Restricted

    NC-17 17 & Under not Permitted




    Put in Categories and put in Order

    For instance a PG Rating Has A Stronger Restriction than G Rating

    Interval Level

    (Quantitative data)

    Average Monthly Temperature (F)

    For Karachi

    January 20

    Feb 25

    March 30

    April 35

    May 40

    Put in categories put in order and find the differences in values

    For instance

    25-20= 5

    which means that February was 5 degrees warmer than January

    Ratio Level

    (Quantitative data)


    Average monthly Raining of Karachi(in inches)

    Jan 0.3

    Feb 3.9

    March 4

    April 5

    May 6 inches


    Put in categories put in order, find differences and find Ratios

    For instance

    6/4 = 1.5

    which means that there was 1.5 times more rain in May than in March
