Final answer:
The data on the physician's intake form falls into different levels of measurement: Family history of illness is Nominal, Happiness level scale is Ordinal, Height is Ratio, and Temperature is Interval. These classifications define how we can statistically analyze and operate with the data.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student's question pertains to identifying the level of measurement for various pieces of data on a physician's intake form. Each type of data listed corresponds to a specific level of measurement which determines how the data can be used and analyzed in statistics. Here are the classifications:
- A) Family history of illness would typically be measured on a Nominal scale because it is categorical and doesn't have a natural order.
- B) Happiness level scale of 0 to 10 would be measured on an Ordinal scale because although the values have a definite order, the differences between them are not guaranteed to be equivalent.
- C) Height is measured on a Ratio scale because not only does it have a natural zero point (indicating no height), but you can also make meaningful comparisons using ratios.
- D) Temperature is typically measured on an Interval scale because temperatures have an arbitrary zero point and can have meaningful differences, but zero does not indicate an absence of temperature.
