Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A bathroom scale provides ratio measurements because it has a true zero point, indicating that a weight of zero is possible and that ratios between weights are meaningful. Nominal measurements involve categories that cannot be ranked or compared, ordinal measurements involve categories that can be ranked but do not have consistent intervals, and interval measurements involve consistent intervals but do not have a true zero point.
