Question

Which one of the following describes attributes of ratio-level data?

Observations of a quantitative variable where differences between measures are constant in size, but a measurement of zero for the variable does not indicate none of the quantity is present.

Quantitative data that have a natural zero starting point which allows meaningful ratios to be formed (for example: distance, volume, ...).

Observations of a qualitative variable that can only be classified and counted (for example: colors, brand names, ...).

Qualitative data that have a natural or implied order that allows it to be easily ranked (for example: ratings such as below average, average, and above average).

Explanation / Answer

Answer is-

Quantitative data that have a natural zero starting point which allows meaningful ratios to be formed (for example: distance, volume, ...)

Reason- distances from one point to another, like from zero to A and zero to B, can make ratios

Or volume ratios between a 2 litre flask and 3 litre flask, measured from empty (zero L volume) make sense for a ratio level data
