. Compare and contrast the nonscientific methods for knowing or acquiring knowledge (tenacity, intuition, authority, the rational method, and the empirical method). Identify an example and explain the limitations of each method.

Compare and contrast the four scales of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio) and identify examples of each.
The categories that make up a nominal scale simply represent qualitative (not quantitative) differences in the variable measured. For example, if you were measuring academic majors for a group of college students, the categories would be art, chemistry, English, history, psychology, and so on. The categories that make up an ordinal scale have different names and are organized sequentially. Often, an ordinal scale consists of a series of ranks (first, second, third, and so on) like the order of finish in a horse race. The categories on interval and ratio scales are organized sequentially, and all categories are the same size. Thus, the scale of measurement consists of a series of equal intervals like the inches on a ruler. Other common examples of interval or ratio scales are the measures of time in seconds, weight in pounds, and temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
