Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interval and ratio data are both examples of metric data, which are measured on a scale that has equal intervals and a true zero point. This type of data allows for meaningful mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to be performed on the data. Nonmetric data, on the other hand, does not have a true zero point and cannot be meaningfully manipulated with mathematical operations. Independent and paired data refer to the relationship between two or more sets of data and are not related to the scale of measurement.
