Which of the following is/are nominal data?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Nominal data is considered unordered categories. Sex answers fall into male or female which is unordered. Race can be multiple answers such as Caucasian, African American, Asian, etc which is unordered. Blood group can only have blood type O, A, B, or AB which is also unordered. Ordered, or ordinal data would have categories that are in some sort of order

Wait, are NYHA stages really nominal? Seems like they have an order.

I feel like I’ve seen questions where D and E were classified differently, but I can’t recall exactly how.

I practiced a similar question, and I think nominal data includes A, B, and C, but I’m confused about D and E.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think D and E might not be nominal since they have a progression.

I remember nominal data is about categories without a specific order, so A, B, and C seem like good options.
