Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Elaboration is a technique used to describe the relationship between two or more nominal or ordinal level variables by examining each category or level of one variable within each level of another variable. This can be done most effectively through bivariate tables, making D the correct choice. Choice A is incorrect because elaboration would not be useful or appropriate for interval-ratio level variables. Choice B is incorrect because scatterplots are used for continuous data, not nominal or ordinal level variables. Choice C is also incorrect for the same reason.
