Major League Baseball Statistics
Statistics Question?
Alrite well I’m doing a worksheet and I’m stumbling on this one question. The question say to identify each data set’s level of measurement: Nominal, ordinal, interval, and Ratio.
a) A list of uniform nuumbers retired by each major league baseball team
b) the humber of products sold by a toy manufacturer each quarter of the year
c) the finishing times of the runners in the boston marathon
I’m pretty sure I know b and c (interval,ratio) but i’m getting confused on A. In my book it says that the numbers on marathon runners are nominal but in the powerpoint it says that team jerseys are ordinal. Why the difference? what do ya’ll think?
Well I might see the source of the confusion; Wikipedia says “At one time, a baseball player’s number was specifically related to his place in the batting lineup,” which makes it seem to have once been ordinal, yet it goes on to describe a lot of modern-day numbering to be very arbitrary (mostly based on what numbers players like to have), and thus merely nominal.
