Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ratio scale is considered the strongest form of measurement as it has all the properties of nominal, ordinal, and interval scales along with a true zero point, which allows for meaningful comparisons and mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Nominal scale only allows for categorization, ordinal scale has no true zero point and doesn't allow for mathematical operations, and interval scale does not have a true zero point.
