Question

Given below are two statement s:
Statement I: In a ratio scale, zero point is arbitrary
Statement II: The nominal scale allows ordering/ranging of data
In the light of the above statements, choose answer from the options given below:

A.

Both Statement I and Statement II are true

B.

Both Statement I and Statement II are false

C.

Statement I is true but Statement II is false

D.

Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Correct option is B

Statement I: In a ratio scale, the zero point is not arbitrary; it represents an absolute absence of the attribute being measured. For example, in a temperature scale measured in Kelvin, 0 represents absolute zero, a point at which particles theoretically cease to vibrate.
Statement II: The nominal scale does not allow for the ordering or ranking of data. In a nominal scale, categories are used for labeling variables, without any quantitative value or order. For example, categorizing fruits as "apple," "banana," or "cherry" does not allow for any sort of ranking.
Both statements are incorrect, making the correct answer (b) Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
