Question
A car manufacturer is studying sales patterns over five years of four different types of carthat vary in size and available utilities: hatchbacks (small cars with no trunk space),midsized sedans (cars with limited trunk space and more utilities compared to hatchbacks),sedans (proper trunk space and all utilities), and luxury sedans (big trunk space andluxurious interiors). Based on size and available utilities, which measurement scale doesthe type of car reflect?
Solution
The type of car reflects a nominal measurement scale. This is because the categories of car (hatchbacks, midsized sedans, sedans, and luxury sedans) are simply names for different types of cars. They do not have an inherent order, and the differences between categories are not uniform. For example, the difference in size and utilities between a hatchback and a midsized sedan is not necessarily the same as the difference between a midsized sedan and a sedan. Therefore, the type of car is a nominal variable.
