Answer to Question #29548 in Statistics and Probability for John

Question

I have a questionnaire distributed to the users with the following question from which users can select an answer

Q: What was the project Cost Performance Index
Option 1 : 0 < CPI < .5
Option 2 : .5 < CPI < .75
Option 3 : .75 < CPI < 1
Option 4 : 1 < CPI < 1.5
Option 5 : 1.5 < CPI

Each of the options have a weight assigned to them starting from 1 to 5. Is this variable continuous or ordinal? Can I treat this as a continuous variable when doing analysis?
