Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Weights obtained using a well-adjusted scale are an example of ratio measurement. Ratio measurement has a true zero point, meaning that a value of 0 for that variable represents an absence of the variable being measured, in this case weight. Additionally, ratios between weight measurements can be meaningfully compared (i.e. 10 pounds is twice the weight of 5 pounds).
