Weights of tennis players is a ratio level of measurement because it has an absolute zero point where the absence of weight can be measured. Body temperatures of tennis players is an interval level of measurement since the differences in temperatures represent equal differences in magnitude, but the values do not have a meaningful absolute zero point.
Which of the four levels of measurement is most appropriate for Wei.pdf
1. Which of the four levels of measurement is most appropriate for "Weights of tennis players"?
ordinal ratio interval nominal Which of the four levels of measurement is most appropriate for
"Body temperatures of tennis players"? nominal ordinal interval ratio
Solution
Weights are considered as RATIO Level of Measurement .
In a Ratio scale , its zero position indicates the absence of the quantity being measured .
Body Temperature are considered as INTERVAL Level of Measurement .
Interval scales are numerical scales in which intervals have the same interpretation throughout as
temperature difference between two values indicate the same magnitude of difference
Note : If the Body Temperature is given in Kelvins we have to use RATIO scales
