Question

After measuring a sample of individuals, a researcher finds that one participant's score is three times bigger than another participant's score. This pair of measurements must come from a(n) ________ scale.

Answer 1

Answer:

Ratio scale.

Explanation:

• Ratio scale is a quantitative scale used for variable measurement which allows any researcher to compare the intervals of the measured parameter.
• Ratio scale is the 4th level of measurement having a zero point or character of origin.
• Ratio scale possesses most of the features of the other three variable measurement scale i.e ordinal, nominal and interval scales.
• Nominal variables are used to name, or label a series of values.
• Ordinal scales provide a sufficient amount of information about the order of choices, such as one would be able to understand from using a customer satisfaction survey, while the interval scales give us the order of values and also about the ability to quantify the difference between each one.
