Answer 1

Answer #1

Number 1

Tree type (Monterey Cypress, Coast Live Oak, Silk Tassle etc.)

Now, tree types cannot be ordered.

So, the scale is NOMINAL.

Number 2

Tree height, measured in metres.

Now, tree heights can be measured in scale, and can be ordered. Zero of the scale means zero height.

So, the scale is RATIO.

Number 3

Tree health, ranked from 1 to 4.

Now, here ordering is possible, but the difference between the orders is unknown.

So, the scale is ORDINAL.

Number 4

Temperature measured in degree celcius.

Here, ordering is possible, and the difference between the orderings is also known. But zero of the scale does not mean zero temperature.

So, the scale is INTERVAL.

Number 5

Precipitation measured in milimetres.

Now, precipitations can be measured in scale, and can be ordered. Zero of the scale means zero precipitation.

So, the scale is RATIO.
