Determine if the following statement represents a meaningful ratio, so the ratio level of measurement applies. A movie with a 4-star rating is twice as good as one with a 2-star rating. Choose the correct answer below. A.The ratio level of measurement applies. B.The ratio level of measurement does not apply.

 B.The ratio level of measurement does not apply.

Step-by-step explanation:

Level of measurement or scale of measure is a classification that describes the nature of information within the values assigned to variables.

In statistics , the level of measurement is a categorization of nature of information given regarding the variables in the data.

There are 4 scales of measure :

1. Nominal scale

→ Classify the data on the basis of the attributes such as religion, gender , etc.

2. Ordinal scale

→ Order the variables according to their ranks such as first , second ,third and so on.

3. Interval scale

→ Measure the difference between any two categories. It uses the actual value assigned to the variable not the relative.  For ex : 0 degree Celsius does not mean there is no temperature. .

4. Ratio scale :

→ Preserves all the characteristics of above scales in addition to that , it uses the actual meaning of 0. For example : Age.

Given statement : A movie with a 4-star rating is twice as good as one with a 2-star rating.

Since , the rating given to movie is basically a process to arrange movies in to order (For example : bad , okay , good , very good and perfect).

If a movie with a 4-star rating is twice as good as one with a 2-star rating.

Then, we basically measuring the distance between them , so it belongs to interval scale not ratio .

So , the correct answer is :

The ratio level of measurement does not apply.

step-by-step explanation:

a

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
