The difference between an interval and a ratio scale is that a ratio scale _____, while an interval scale does not.

A) uses equal intervals
B) has an absolute zero
C) indicates order
D) gives numerical information

Ratio Scale

A quantitative measurement scale that has a true zero point and allows for the comparison of absolute magnitudes of numbers.

Absolute Zero

The theoretical temperature at which a system is devoid of all thermal energy, representing the lower limit of the thermodynamic temperature scale, precisely 0 Kelvin or -273.15°C.

Interval Scale

A scale of measurement where the intervals between values are evenly distributed, allowing for meaningful comparisons of differences.
