Answer

Brief Explanations:

A chi - square test is used for categorical (nominal) data to check for relationships. Here, "practicing a religion" and "having a do - not - resuscitate order" are categorical variables. Nominal data is categorical data without an inherent order, which is the case here. Ratio data has a true zero point and is used for measurements like length or weight, which is not applicable here.

Answer:

Nominal
