If one variable is measured on nominal scale and other variable is measured on interval scale, the appropriate research method will be :

  • A.Experimental method
  • B.Case-study method
  • C.Cross-sectional method
  • D.Correlation method

Answer: A

The key's answer is Experimental method.

A nominal variable sorts people into categories, such as treatment and control groups, while an interval variable gives measured scores. That is the typical structure of an experiment: the groups (nominal) are the independent variable and the measured outcome (interval) is the dependent variable, compared with tests such as t or ANOVA.

The correlation method needs two variables measured on at least an ordinal or interval scale, a case study examines one unit in depth without measuring such variables across groups, and the cross-sectional method describes when data are collected rather than how the two variables relate.
