1ominal scale is simply a system ofassigning number symbols to events inorder to label them. 1ominal scale is theleast powerful level of measurement. It
indicates no order or distance relationshipand has no arithmetic origin. nominalscale simply describes dierencesbetween things by assigning them tocategories. 1ominal data are thus,
counted data. The scale wastes anyinformation that we may about varyingdegrees of attitude, skill, understandings,etc.

Interval caleInterval cale
In the case of interval scale, theintervals are ad!usted in terms ofsome rule that has been establishedas a basis for making the unitse+ual. The units are e+ual only in sofar as one accepts the assumptionson which the rule is based. Intervalscales can have an arbitrary 4ero,but it is not possible to determinefor them what may be called anabsolute 4ero or uni+ue origin.

conceive of an absolute 4ero oflength and similarly we can conceiveof an absolute 4ero of time. 3atioscale represent the actual amounts
of variables. Measures of physicaldimensions such as weight, height,distance, etc, are eample.
