Give the appropriate level of measurement for each of the following: (a)Majors of randomly selected students at a university. (b) Name of the cities in Oregon. (c) The years in which economists have deemed the U. S. to be in recession. (d) The category which best describes how frequently a person eats chocolate: Frequently, Occasionally, Seldom, Never. (e) The Temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) of patients with pneumonia.

(a) Nominal

(b) Nominal

(c) Interval

(d) Nominal

(e) Interval

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four distinct level of measurements: nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio.

(a)

Majors of randomly selected students at a university.

Level of measurements: nominal

Because in case of nominal level of measurements the variables are classified  using names, labels, alpha numeric data, and so on.

(b)

Name of the cities in Oregon.

Level of measurements: nominal

Because in case of nominal level of measurements the variables are classified  using names, labels, alpha numeric data, and so on.

(c)

The years in which economists have deemed the U.S. to be in recession.

Level of measurements: interval

Because in case of interval level of measurement, the data is not only classified and ordered, but it also specifies that the distances between each interval on the scale that are equal throughout the scale from low to high interval.

(d)

The category which best describes how frequently a person eats chocolate: Frequently, Occasionally, Seldom, Never.

Level of measurements: nominal

(e)

The Temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) of patients with pneumonia.

Level of measurements: interval
