Question: If the data are labelled 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and so on, in what kind of scale does it falls?
If the data are labeled with ordinal numbers such as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and so on, it falls into an ordinal scale. In an ordinal scale, the data have a meaningful order or ranking, but the intervals between the values are not necessarily uniform or consistent. In other words, you can determine the relative order of the values, but you cannot make precise statements about the magnitude of the differences between them.
For example, if you have data labeled as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc., you know that the order represents a sequence, but you can't necessarily say that the difference between 1st and 2nd is the same as the difference between 2nd and 3rd in a quantifiable way.
