Decide whether the variousmeasurements reflect nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio scales, and justify your choices. Be careful, asthe answers are not always as obvious as they might initially appear.1. An environmental scientist collects water samples from screams and rivers near largeindustrial plants and saves exactly 1 liter of water from each sample. Then, back at the lab,the researcher determines the amounts of certain health-jeopardizing bacteria in each sample.What measurement scale does the measurement of bacteria content reflect?2. A market researcher is studying the relationship between (a) a country's average annualrelative humidity levels and (b) the number of raincoats sold in the country during the year.What scales underlie the two variables in this study?3.

Each horizontal line represents one person. The down arrow indicates the date of onset of illness. The solid line represents the duration of illness. The up arrow and the cross represent the date of recovery and date of death, respectively. The picture New: Cases of Illness from October 1, 2004–September 30, 2005 Question: Calculate the point prevalence on April 1, 2005. Point prevalence is the number of persons ill on the date divided by the population on that date. On April 1, seven persons (persons 1, 4, 5, 7, 9, and 10) were ill.arrow_forward
