Ordinal Variable Example

Introduction ordinal variable example:

          Ordinal variable is a variable which is mainly used to give order or to rank the particular data. There can be no any arithmetic operation performed on an ordinal variable like a normal mathematical variables. The important use of Ordinal variables is comparison of data to rank them according to its performance. The ranking given using ordinal variables is also known as level of data.

Ordinal Variable Example Explanation:

      Ordinal variable is sometimes known as discrete data. Our ranking given to data by ordinal variable must be in meaningful way. For example,

• Agree / disagree
• Maximum/ minimum

 

I am planning to write more post on how to solve andgraph inequalities, solving systems of linear equations by graphing. Keep checking my blog.

          Ordinal variable is plays a vital role in surveying and we can do logical operations on ordinal variables to compare the data. 

Ordinal Variable Example:

 Example 1:

We can give the ranking order for the ordinal variable as follows,

1 = Excellent

2 = Good

3 = Satisfactory

4 = Low

5 = Poor

By the above exposed values, the data are analyzed.

For example, we are taking the labor’s performance on the work wage. This can be given as; if the work of the labor is above 10 points means then the ranking will be 1. If the work of the labor is above 8 points means, then the ranking will be 2. And If work level is above 5 means the rank will be 3. Likewise below 5 means low and below 3 means very poor. This is what the ordinal variable is performed.

Representing Ordinal variable example in the table format,

1	2	3	4	5
Excellent	good	ok	low	Poor

The performance level of the labors can be calculated by using one of the five stages. This ordinal variable table will be more helpful while analyzing individual performance also

Ordinal variable Example 2:

We can also use ordinal variable in medical research by taking the survey of patients according to our requirement.
