Select the measurement scale in the right column that best matches the description in the left column. Note that each scale (nominal scale, ordinal scale, interval scale, and ratio scale) will be used exactly once. 1. Values measured on this scale can be compared such that you can say, for example, one value is twice as big as another value. 2. The values of data measured on this scale can be rank ordered and have meaningful differences between scale points.3. The values of data measured on this scale can be a number or a name, but they cannot be rank ordered. 4. The values of data measured on this scale can be rank ordered.

Answer:

1. RATIO SCALE

2. INTERVAL SCALE

3. NOMINAL SCALE

4. ORDINAL SCALE

Step-by-step explanation:

The scales are:

- Nominal Scale

- Ordinal Scale

- Interval Scale

- Ratio Scale

Rule: Each scale will be used exactly once.

For number 1, the description is that of a Ratio Scale because size comparisons can be made between values on the scale, such as the example given - that one value is twice as big as another value.

For number 2, the description is that of an Interval Scale because the values of data measured on the scale can be ranked e.g. Yes ranks as 1, No ranks as 2, Indifferent ranks as 3 and there is meaningful difference (not numerical difference) between scale points.

For number 3, the description is that of a Nominal Scale, because it says obviously that the values of data measured on this scale can be in form of names (watch out for keywords like this when reading through) and cannot be rank ordered! A good example is the following data set:

- Yellow, Brown, Purple, Cream, Fustian Pink

For number 4, the description is that of an Ordinal Scale. A keyword "rank" is to be given attention here, even as the statement is straightforward and gives just a simple information.
