Select one:

=TRUE (NS)
=ORDINAL
In ordinal measurement the numerical values just "name" the attribute uniquely.
=TRUE (NS)
It is a branch of science that deals with the collection, organization, analysis of data and
drawing of inferences from the samples to the whole population.
= Statistics (NS)
Using a ratio scale permits comparisons such as being twice as high, or one-half as much.
=TRUE
It is always possible to transform data from a higher level to a lower level but never the other
way around
=TRUE
=FALSE
= Parametric Test
Descriptive statistics therefore enables us to present the data in a more meaningful way,
which allows simpler interpretation of the data
=TRUE
A low standard deviation indicates that the data points are spread out over a wider range of
values.

In statistics and probability, quartiles are values that divide your data into quarters provided
data is sorted in an ascending order.

The F ratio is defined as the average within-groups variance divided by the average
