Ratio scale

A) This scale has a meaningful zero point and equal intervals; therefore, it can be manipulated by all mathematical principles.
B) In this scale, numbers are arbitrarily assigned to represent different categories or variables.
C) This scale establishes equal distances between measurements but has no absolute zero reference point.
D) With this scale, magnitude or rank order is implied; however, the distance between measurements is unknown.

Ratio Scale

A scale of measurement that has a meaningful zero point and equal intervals and thus can be manipulated by all mathematical principles.

Mathematical Principles

Fundamental truths or propositions that serve as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning in mathematics.

Absolute Zero

The lowest possible temperature where nothing could be colder and no heat energy remains in a substance, equivalent to -273.15°C or zero kelvin.
