Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Levels of Measurement

There are four levels of measurement in statistics: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. Each level provides different types of information about the data:

  • Nominal: Categorizes data without any order (e.g., types of fruit).
  • Ordinal: Categorizes data with a meaningful order but no consistent difference between categories (e.g., rankings).
  • Interval: Measures data with meaningful differences between values but no true zero point (e.g., temperature in Celsius).
  • Ratio: Measures data with meaningful differences and a true zero point (e.g., weight).
Step 2: Analyze the Given Data

The question asks about the level of measurement for the calendar year 2022. Calendar years are numerical values that can be ordered and have meaningful differences between them. However, they do not have a true zero point (e.g., the year 0 does not represent the absence of time).

Step 3: Determine the Appropriate Level of Measurement

Given that calendar years have meaningful differences but no true zero point, they fall under the interval level of measurement.

Final Answer
