Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The children's team placement is ranked based on age, indicating an ordinal level of measurement. Ability level is not being measured on an interval or ratio scale, as there is no predetermined unit of measurement or absolute zero point. It is not a nominal level, as team placement is not simply a name or category.
