the attractiveness of an industry on a 5-point scale for several factors relating to each of the five forces in Porter’s (1980) model. (A 7-point or a 10-point scale would perhaps be even better in that it would allow finer discrimination between two businesses with different levels of attractiveness. But the 5-point scale is relatively much easier to use.) To help you in the ratings‚ the template provides the anchors at the two ends of the scale for each factor with examples of industries corresponding

The boldface numbers on the fixed scale are centimeters. The tick marks on the fixed scale between the boldface numbers are millimeters. There are ten tick marks on the sliding scale. The left-most tick mark on the sliding scale will let you read from the fixed scale the number of whole millimeters that

of each of these objects that can be measured by each of the four basic types of scales. There are relatively few pure interval scales found in business research. Almost all text discussions of this scale refer to the example of temperature scales. However‚ some attitude scales such as the Likert and Semantic Differential‚ are claimed to approach interval characteristics. In addition‚ approximate interval scales can be developed from paired comparisons and rank orders of objects. A. Store customers

MUSIC THEORY Intervals An interval is the distance between two notes. Intervals are always counted from the lower note to the higher one‚ with the lower note being counted as one. Intervals come in different qualities and size. If the notes are sounded successively‚ it is a melodic interval. If sounded simultaneously‚ then it is a harmonic interval. The smallest interval used in Western music is the half step. A visual representation of a half step would be the distance between a consecutive

weight hanger * slotted masses * vertical scale * stopwatch. Procedure Part I: Determination of k from Hooke’s Law 1. Suspend the spring from its support. 2. Hook the weight hanger from the bottom loop of the spring and determine the vertical scale reading of the bottom of the weight hanger. 3. Record this as the equilibrium position of the system. 4. Add 5 g to the weight hanger and again record the actual vertical scale reading. 5. Repeat this procedure for 10‚ 15

Categorical data‚ in which the values of the data represent categories (such as gender‚ ethnicity‚ political affiliation)‚ are the simplest. Attitude scales such as the Likert scale are examples of ordinal data. A Likert-type scale asks you to answer a question by making a choice along a range of answers numbered from‚ say‚ 1 through 5. With interval level data‚ the values tell you something about the difference between given values. Test
