measurement scales

Question

Ms. Huma initiated a research where she asked students to collect the list of famous places of Lahore city. Students reported Badshahi mosque, Minar.e.Pakistan, Lawrence garden, Alhamra art complex, Jillani park and tomb of Ali Hujwiri as the top most famous places. Which measurement scale is used?? Nominal, ordinal, ratio or interval??

Please give the justification so that i can understand in a much better way thankyou.

Answer 1

sounds like nominal

unless you rank them in order from best to least, most popular to less popular, then it's ordinal

odds are you want "nominal"
