Answer:

The data are at the nominal level of measurement

Step-by-step explanation:

Nominal Level of measurement is irrespective of orders or classes. In this survey we do not find out which game is ranked the most favorite.

Nominal; level is used just for counting.  Its cannot be used as a measure or for quantitative analysis.

Such data cannot give the mean of the sample. And the two means cannot be compared.

In the given question it only gives the number of likes  nothing more. The average cannot be calculated for such data.
