Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. The categories for occupational status of parents are just labels with no order or numerical meaning, so it's nominal.
  2. Test scores have equal - intervals between values and a non - arbitrary zero is not present, so it's interval.
  3. The categories for educational attainment of parents have an order (elementary < high school < college), so it's ordinal.

Answer:

  1. a. nominal
  2. c. interval
  3. b. ordinal
