Research Methodology · Scales of Measurement
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A: In statistical analysis, data measured on an interval scale, such as temperature in Celsius, allows researchers to calculate meaningful ratios and percentages between data points. Reason R: The interval scale measures variables with consistent, exact mathematical distances between points, but it lacks a true zero point, meaning ratios cannot be calculated. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- 1Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
- 2Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
- 3A is correct but R is not correct
- 4A is not correct but R is correct✓
Correct answer
