I think it's categorical, because the ratings represent different categories.

I believe it is continuous, as the ratings can have decimal values.

I agree with Frederica, because the ratings have a specific order.

Woah, this question is harder than calculating the tip at a restaurant. But at least it's not as tricky as figuring out how to rate the food when the waiter already messed up the order.

Hold up, I'm voting for D) Nominal. Those numbers are just labels, not really representing any order or quantity. It's like choosing between 'red', 'blue', 'green'.

Nah, it's gotta be A) Continuous. Ratings can take any value in the 1 to 10 range, not just whole numbers. This is like measuring height or weight.

I agree, A) Continuous makes sense. It's a measurement scale like height or weight.

I think you're right, it should be A) Continuous. The rating scale allows for decimal values.

Hmm, I was thinking C) Categorical. The ratings are just categories, like 'poor', 'average', 'excellent', you know?

I'd say B) Ordinal. The rating scale from 1 to 10 clearly implies an order, even if the distances between the values are not exactly equal.

I see your point, but I still think B) Ordinal is the best fit for this scenario.

I would go with A) Continuous since the ratings can have decimal values in between.
