Expert Solution

(a)

In case Happiness is categorized into: Extremely happy, Happy, Not happy, Very much unhappy :

Happiness is measured at Ordinal level because some kind of ranking is seen in the values.

(b)

In case Happiness is quantified in numerical values from 0 to 10: where Happiness is quantified in order of increase with 0 indicating total absence of Happiness and 10 indicating Complete Happiness.

Happiness is measured at Ratio level because value of 0 stands for absence of Happiness.

(c)
In case Happiness is quantified in numerical values from - 5 to + 5: where - 5 stands for Very much unhappy, - 1 stands for Not happy, +1 stands for Happy and + 5 stands for Extremely happy:

Happiness is measured at Interval level because in such a quantification, value of 0 does not mean absence of Happiness and thus, 0 value is not defined and hence it is Interval level.

In the above explanation of (a), (b) and (c), we can replace Happiness by Depression and Anxiety.
