Answer 1

Answer #1

Opinion on Capital Punishment is measured using Nominal scale, where opinion is expressed as a binary variable only for convenience purposes. But these numbers (0 or 1) are non-numerical when it comes to arithmetical treatment, which is not possible for variables measured using nominal scale.
