Definition of measurement :-

nominal level of measurement

qualitative data only; categorized using names, labels, or qualities; NO mathematical computations can be made.

Ordinal level of measurement

qualitative or quantitative data; data can be arranged in order, or ranked; differences between data entries is not meaningful.

Interval level of measurement

quantitative data; data can be ordered; differences between data entries is meaningful; zero represents a position on a scale NOT an inherent zero- zero DOES NOT imply "none".

similar to interval level; zero entry IS an inherent zero (implies "none"); a ratio of two data values can be formed; one data value can be expressed as a multiple of another.
