What is definition of metric data?

Metric data is any reading which is at least at an interval scale, as opposed to non metric data, which can be nominal or ordinal. Weight, height, distance, revenue, cost etc. are interval scales or above. Hence they are metric data. On the other hand, satisfaction ratings, Yes/No responses, Male/Female readings etc., are non metric data.


What is distance relating to math?

The question is too vague for a proper answer. Distance can crop up in the context of speed, acceleration, kinetics, etc. In each case the definition and formula may vary. There is also the concept of distance between two points in a metric space and the measure of distance will depend on the metric defined on the space. The Euclidean (or Pythagorean) metric and the Minkovsky (or taxicab) metric are two of the more common metrics but there are loads more.


How do you convert 1ton in metric tons?

1 "tonne" = 1 "metric ton" by definition = 1000kg. "One metric tonne" is redundant terminology. Using ton by itself is the US' short ton = 2000 lbs. One long ton or imperial ton is 2240 lbs and often is equated (close enough) to one tonne, though one tonne = 1000kg = 2204lbs


How was the lenghth of a standard meter defined in the yeat 1791?

In 1791, the length of a standard meter was defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the Equator along a meridian through Paris. This definition was based on the metric system's goal of creating a universal and rational measurement standard. The meter was intended to be a natural unit, derived from the Earth's dimensions. This definition laid the groundwork for the eventual establishment of the metric system.


Is a millisecond half of a second?

No, a millisecond is not half of a second. A millisecond is 1000th of a second. The prefix milli comes from the metric system and by definition means 1000th of the base unit (in this case seconds).
