DOUBT in Practise assignment 1

[Anita Bajaj]

Hello ,

In practise assignment 1 question number 11 why "year" is not came under ratio scale of measurment ?

for an example: As If, I say that Shyam is twice as old as Ram it means that this statement have ratio scale of measurment. So, age in year came under ratio scale.

Kindly correct me in above statement, If I have done mistake.

Hi,

here, the variable is year not age in years. year does not have absolute zero that's why it does not has a Ratio scale of measurement.

Thanks,
