There are three levels of measurement: nominal, ordinal, and ratio. Nominal level data is the lowest level of data and is qualitative (word oriented). Ordinal data are assigned numbers reflecting on the order of the relationship between the characters studied. Interval level data is a move from the qualitative scale to the quantitative scale – numbers (Walker, 2009). It also builds on ordinal data and shows an equal value between categories. There are also three measures of central tendency:…

the points are reasonably close to one another, with the value of 110, 124 and 139. There is only a 29-unit difference between the minimum and maximum values. The next increase in size of 2cm x 2cm is even more precise with a small difference of 8-units between the values of 353, 357 and 361. The final cube size of 3cm x 3cm, had a large difference from the minimum and maximum values of 234-units. During the experiment it was observed that a small amount of the 3cm x 3cm cube was not completely…
