- 3Conceptual Definitionwhat is the verbal meaning attached to concept label?
sometimes the label is enough, you don't need it. (intelligence: quantitative, analytical, verbal) - 4Operational Definitiontakes verbal meaning from conceptual definition and specifies the steps needed to measure/experience that concept. (develop steps for measuring conceptual definitions and devise a formula)

has an order: any category can fall higher or lower to another
categories: exhausted and mutually exclusive - 9Intervalequal interval measurements
NO TRUE ZERO: when zero does not mean absence of the thing because you can go below it. (weather) - 10RatioDOES have a true zero, [[must have everything stated in interval]] ——— speed, distance traveled
- 11Why should you start at the highest level of measurement?you can start high and go low, but you cannot start low and go high
- 12How will 4 levels of measurements be used?chi squared data ——
pew data —— nominal/ordinal
analysis of variants (calculating mean) —— interval/ratio
