Answer 1

The measuring scale being used in the given examples can be determined based on the characteristics of the data provided. The correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of measure scale being used in this question can be determined based on the characteristics of the data provided.

For example, in option a, the athletic ability of high school soccer players is classified as superior, average, and above average. This represents an ordinal scale, as there is a clear ranking order to the categories.

In option b, the baking temperatures are represented by numbers (350, 400, 325, 250, 300). This represents an interval scale, as the numbers have a meaningful order and the differences between them are meaningful.

Lastly, in option c, the colors of crayons in a 24-crayon box do not have a meaningful order or specific numerical values, so this represents a nominal scale.
