Question

What are the properties of measurement scales

Answer 1

Answer:

The properties of the abstract number system that are relevant to scale of measurement are identity, magnitude, equal interval, and absolute/true zero.

Explanation:

Scales of Measurement -

The Scales of Measurement   which are used to quantify or categorize the variables and before any research one must identify the type of the variable .

Properties of Measurement Scales

• Identity- Each value on the measurement scale has a unique meaning.
• Magnitude. Values on the measurement scale have an ordered relationship to one another.
• Equal intervals. Scale units along the scale are equal to one another. .
• A minimum value of zero.

Answer 2

Answer:

Identity, magnitude, equal interval, and a minimum value of zero are properties.

Explanation: 

Measurement Scale

• Nominal -Only the identical property of measurement is satisfied by the nominal scale of measuring. Variable values indicate a descriptive category but have no intrinsic numerical value in terms of magnitude.
• The ordinal scale possesses the properties of identity and magnitude. Each value on the ordinal scale has a distinct meaning and an ordered relationship to all of the other values on the scale.
• The identity, size, and equal intervals features of the interval scale of measurement are present.
• The ratio scale of measuring has all four measurement properties: identity, magnitude, equal intervals, and a minimum value of zero.

Properties

• Identity, Each value on the measuring scale represents a distinct meaning.
• Magnitude, The values on the measuring scale are arranged in respect to one another. That is, some values are greater than others.
• Equal intervals, Scale units along the scale are all the same. This indicates that the difference between $1$ and $2$is equivalent to the difference between $19$and $20$
• A minimum value of zero,There is a genuine zero point on the scale, below which no values exist.
