Q17 Identify the level of measurement of the data, and explain what is wrong with the given calculation. In a survey, the responses of respondents are identified as 100 for a " yes", 200 for a " no " , 300 for a maybe , and 400 for anything else. The average ( mean ) is calculated for 587 respondents and the results is 256.1. The data are at the ____ level of measurement. What is wrong with the given calculation ? a. Such data are not counts or measures of anything, so the average ( mean ) needs to be computed in a different way. b. Such data are not counts or measures of anything, so it makes no sense to compute their average ( mean ). c. The true average ( mean ) is 202.4 d. There is nothing wrong with the given calculation.
