Question

A ratio scale contains _____. the properties of order, classification, and equal distance between points but no unique origin the four major sources of error mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive categories as well as the property of order, but not distance or unique origin the properties of classification, order, equal distance, and unique origin mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive categories, but without the properties of order, distance, and origin

Answer 1

the properties of classification, order, equal distance, and unique origin.

Explanation:

A level of measurement refers to a classification which is used to illustrate the attributes of the values assigned to variables. Basically, there are four (4) levels of measurement for a variable and these are;

1. Ratio: data can be arranged in an ordering scheme and subtracting its differences is meaningful with respect to the value of true zero. Examples are height, price, weight, distance etc.

2. Nominal: is characterized by data that are non-numerical, comprises of categories, labels or names and can't be arranged in an ordering scheme.

3. Interval: data can be arranged in an ordering scheme and subtracting its differences is meaningful. Examples are year, temperature, time etc.

4. Ordinal: data can be arranged in an ordering scheme but subtracting its differences is meaningless or impossible. Examples are happy, sad etc.

Hence, a ratio scale contains the properties of classification, order, equal distance, and unique origin.
