Questions: Indicate the level of measurement for the data set described. Young children's answers to the question "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Answer Ratio Interval Nominal Ordinal

The answer is Nominal.

Explanation for each option:

1. Ratio: This level of measurement involves data that have a true zero point and allow for the comparison of absolute magnitudes. Examples include height, weight, and age. Since "What do you want to be when you grow up?" does not have a true zero and does not allow for such comparisons, this is incorrect.

2. Interval: This level of measurement involves data with meaningful intervals between values but no true zero point. Examples include temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit. The data in question do not have meaningful intervals or a true zero, so this is also incorrect.

3. Nominal: This level of measurement involves categorizing data without any order or ranking. Examples include gender, race, or types of professions. The children's answers to "What do you want to be when you grow up?" fall into different categories (e.g., doctor, teacher, astronaut) without any inherent order, making this the correct answer.

4. Ordinal: This level of measurement involves data that can be ordered or ranked, but the intervals between the ranks are not necessarily equal. Examples include class rankings or levels of satisfaction. Since the children's answers do not have a specific order or ranking, this is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct level of measurement for the data set described is Nominal.
