What does ratio level mean?
Ratio is the highest level of measurement in that the data can be ordered, the distance between the values are meaningful, and there is a natural zero. Examples of Ratio measurement would be weight, height, money, age, and distance. From the related link "The ratio scale of measurement is the most informative scale. It is an interval scale with the additional property that its zero position indicates the absence of the quantity being measured. You can think of a ratio scale as the three earlier scales rolled up in one. Like a nominal scale, it provides a name or category for each object (the numbers serve as labels). Like an ordinal scale, the objects are ordered (in terms of the ordering of the numbers). Like an interval scale, the same difference at two places on the scale has the same meaning. And in addition, the same ratio at two places on the scale also carries the same meaning."
What are the defining characteristics of the Ratio Level of Measurement?
Equal intervals between points of that scale and a true zero
What is zero error in physics?
Zero error is defined as the condition where a measuring instrument registers a reading when there should not be any reading. In case of Vernier calipers it occurs when a zero on main scale does not coincide with a zero on Vernier scale. Source: calculatored and written by Shaun Murphy
What is unique about the kelvin temperature scale?
It is an absolute measurement scale of temperature. 0K is absolute zero there are no negative units on the scale (degrees centigrade [celsius] + 273 = degrees Kelvin). This also is the case on the Rankine temperature scale (degrees fahrenheit +459.69 = degrees Rankine)
Absolute zero is zero on the?
Kelvin Scale.
5 A measurement scale that has no meaningful absolute zero point?
Intrevals have no absolute value in research statictis.
What measurement scale has an absolute zero point?
The Kelvin Scale
What is the measurement that starts with absolute zero?
Well, one measurement that is on a scale that starts with absolute zero is temperature.
Is employee age an ordinal scale?
Employee age is a ratio level of measurement. Requirements of ratio level of measurement are: A) has a natural zero (in case of age is birth) and B) differences and ratio's are meaningful (for age 4 is twice as old as 2).
Is BMI an interval or ratio scale of measurement?
Ratio. It has a true zero.
What is Fahrenheit absolute scale?
An absolute scale is a system of measurement that begins at zero and only goes one way. So since on a regular Fahrenheit scale where absolute zero is −459.67, you would say absolute zero is zero and freezing point becomes 491.67.
What is used to absolute temperature in the English system of measurement?
The Rankine scale is used. On that scale, you use Fahrenheit-size degrees, but the zero of the scale is at -459.67
What level of measurement is the number of accidents reported in a given month?
Ratio - because there is a meaningful zero and an equal distance between points.
At which end of the ohms scale are resistance measurement more reliable the zero end or the infinity end?
On an analog ohmmeter, measurements are more precise and more accurate at the zero end of the scale.

What is the scale of celsius?
It is a scale for temperature measurement where zero degree is freezing temperature for water and 100 is its boiling point under atmospheric pressure.
What are the defining characteristics of the Ratio Level of Measurement?
Equal intervals between points of that scale and a true zero
