Chapter 1, Problem 8PE

A survey handed out to individuals at a major shopping mall in a small Florida city in July asked the following:

• gender
• age
• ethnicity
• length of residency
• overall satisfaction with city services (using a scale of 1-5, going from poor to excellent)
• quality of schools (using a scale of 1-5, going from poor to excellent)

What types of data (categorical, ordinal, interval, or ratio) would each of the survey items represent and why?
