A doctor measures the waist (in cm) of a number of patients. This would be which scale of measurement?
	Nominal
	Ordinal
	Interval/Ratio

anonymous · Answer

Seems like interval/ratio again :)

anonymous · Answer

i agree with @iambatman  cause i just looked it up
more specifically it is "ratio" because height has a meaningful zero

The teacher of a class of third graders records the height of each student in inches.  What is the scale of measurement?

anonymous · Answer

@satellite73 Yup it's actually just ratio, which was the answer for your last question as well, but it seems they put it together for some odd reason.

vshiroky · Answer

so both the third graders and the doctors measurements are interval-ratio?
my teacher said for psych/stats they combine it

vshiroky · Answer

is that right @iambatman and @satellite73
