Information Booster:
| Scale | Characteristics | Absolute Zero |
|---|---|---|
| Nominal | Categories with no order (e.g., gender, colors) | No |
| Ordinal | Order without consistent intervals (e.g., ranks) | No |
| Interval | Ordered with equal intervals but no true zero (e.g., temperature in Celsius) | No |
| Ratio | Ordered, equal intervals, and has a true zero (e.g., height, weight, income) | Yes |
Absolute zero means the absence of the quantity being measured.
In ratio scales, zero indicates a true lack of the variable (e.g., 0 kg = no weight).
Additional Knowledge:
Operations like multiplication and division are only meaningful with ratio scales.
Interval scales allow addition/subtraction but not meaningful ratios.
