Answer 1

The correct answer is:c) Ordinal: Stage of cancer (e.g., stage I, stage II, stage III); Nominal: Gender (e.g., male, female).Explanation:a) Ordinal: Severity of pain (e.g., mild, moderate, severe); Nominal: Blood type (e.g., A, B, AB, O). - This is incorrect. The severity of pain is an ordinal data type, as it represents a ranked order of pain levels. Blood type is a type, as it represents categories without a meaningful order.b) Ordinal: Body temperature (e.g., low, normal, high); Nominal: Type of medication prescribed (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen) - This is incorrect. Body temperature is a numerical measurement and is not considered an ordinal data type. The type of medication prescribed is a nominal data type, as it represents categories without a meaningful order.c) Ordinal: Level of education (e.g., elementary, high school, college); Nominal: Ethnicity (e.g., Caucasian, African American, Hispanic). - This is incorrect. The level of education is an ordinal data type, as it represents a ranked order of educational attainment. Ethnicity is a nominal data type, as it represents categories without a meaningful order.c) Ordinal: Stage of cancer (e.g., stage I, stage II, stage III); Nominal: Gender (e.g., male, female). - This is correct. The stage of cancer is an ordinal data type, as it represents a ranked order of cancer progression. Gender is a nominal data type, as it represents categories without a meaningful order.
