Solution Steps

Step 1: Determine the Data Type

The independent variable (Issue Type) consists of distinct categories (Engine, Clutch, Fuel Line, Suspension) without any inherent order or ranking.

Step 2: Define Nominal Data

Nominal data represents categories or labels without any specific order or ranking. The categories are mutually exclusive.

Step 3: Compare with Ordinal Data

Ordinal data also involves categories but with a meaningful order or ranking. This is not the case with car part issues.

Final Answer:

The correct answer is b) Nominal.
