Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number of arrests is a variable that can have a zero value, and the values can be compared and measured in ratio form. For example, a person with five arrests has been arrested five times more than a person with only one arrest. Religious affiliation (A), political affiliation (B), age (C), and sex (E) are all categorical variables and cannot be measured in ratio form.
