What does interval data mean?

Interval data is a type of quantitative data where the difference between two values is meaningful and consistent. It has a fixed unit of measurement and a true zero point. Examples of interval data include temperature in Celsius and time.

Is systolic blood pressure an interval or ratio scale?

Ratio. All pressure readings are on the ratio scale. There is a starting point, atmospheric pressure. If there blood pressure increases by 10%, there is 10% more force being exerted. I note a related one - temperature is a tricky one. If I have degrees C, then it is on the interval scale, but if I convert to degrees K, then it can be considered on the ratio scale, as there is a starting point, and a doubling K has meaning. I'M NEW, AND DID NOT WANT TO REMOVE THE FIRST ANSWER, BUT I AM CERTAIN IT IS INCORRECT. HERE IS WHY: Actually, the scale is INTERVAL, because of the above-mentioned fact that the starting point is the atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure is not an absolute zero point. Say you are at the sea level, where normal air pressure is 1 atm=101.325kPa=760mmHg (millimeters of mercury are usually used to report blood pressure), and your Systolic Blood Pressure is 68mmHg (so the absolute value is: 760mmHg of starting point + 68mmHg of your blood pressure = 828mmHg). Now, let's say your Systolic Blood Pressure jumped 10%, that is to 74.8mmHg (the new absolute value is: 760mmHg of the same starting point + 74.8mmHg of your new blood pressure = 834.8mmHg), and the absolute ratio is not maintained, i.e.: 834.8mmHg / 828mmHg = 1.008. That is the absolute increase is about 0.8%. The differences become even more significant at higher elevations, where the air pressure is lower.


Interval and ratio data can be represented with a histogram?

Yes.
