Solution

The variables measured in this study are: Age as a ratio scale and job satisfaction as a nominal scale.

Here's why:

  1. Age in actual years is a ratio scale. A ratio scale is a quantitative scale where there is a true zero and equal intervals. Age is a perfect example of a ratio scale, where 0 signifies the absence of the phenomenon (in this case, age).

  2. Job satisfaction is a nominal scale. A nominal scale is a qualitative scale that uses discrete categories. In this study, job satisfaction is categorized into 'satisfied' or 'not satisfied', which are discrete categories with no inherent order or priority. Hence, it is a nominal scale.

So, the correct answer is d. Age as a ratio scale and job satisfaction as a nominal scale.
