Which of the four levels of measurement is most appropriate

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
