We are given the following in the question:

Variable:

Nation of origin

Nominal and ordinal:

  • Categorical variables can further be divided as nominal and ordinal.
  • Nominal variable are simple name variable and no numeric value is used to express such variable.
  • Ordinal variable are the variable where position plays an important role but again numerical value is not used to express them.

Ratio and interval:

  • Numerical data can be divided as ratio and interval.
  • Ratio is the data that have true zero value.
  • For interval, absolute zero have no meaning.

Thus, the given variable that is name of origin is a categorical variable.
