Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

With data, when zero means “something you CHOSE as zero", these scores would be at the ____ level of measurement.

A	Nominal
B	Ordinal
C	Interval
D	Ratio

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Just like the interval scale, the ratio scale is a quantitative level of measurement with equal intervals between each point. What sets the ratio scale apart is that it has a true zero. That is, a value of zero on a ratio scale means that the variable you’re measuring is absent.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the ordinal scale, zero means that the data does not exist. In the interval scale, zero has meaning – for example, if you measure degrees, zero has a temperature.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nominal: the data can only be categorized. Ordinal: the data can be categorized and ranked. Interval: the data can be categorized and ranked, and evenly spaced. Ratio: the data can be categorized, ranked, evenly spaced and has a natural zero.

Detailed explanation-4: -A ratio scale is a quantitative scale where there is a true zero and equal intervals between neighboring points. Unlike on an interval scale, a zero on a ratio scale means there is a total absence of the variable you are measuring.
