Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Age and monthly gasoline expenditure in dollars are both examples of ratio scales, where there is a true zero point and meaningful ratios can be derived. The number of children in a family is an example of an ordinal scale, where there is a ranking or order but the distances between values are not meaningful. Brand names of automobiles owned could be considered a nominal scale, where there is no order or ranking of values.
