What does descriptive statistics tell you as a reader/consumer of research? What is your understanding about the importance of the level of measurement as it relates to data analysis? As a rule of thumb, a researcher should always collect the highest level of measurement data they can for all the variables and especially the dependent variable. Why is this an important consideration? (Hint: remember N (nominal)urses O (ordinal) btain I (interval) mportant R (ratio)esults as a mnemonic for recalling the order of data measurement from the lowest to the highest)
