Variables are “changing qualities or characteristics” that have values of either

persons or things. It can be an age, gender, intelligence, ideas, achievements,
confidence, and so on that are involved in your study. For example, your intelligence

Ratio possesses all the characteristics of interval measurement, and there exists a
true zero. In addition, true ratios exist when the same variable is measured on two different
members of the population. Ranks data, and precise differences between units of measure
exists; however, there is no meaningful zero. Classifies data into categories that can be
ranked; however, precise differences between the ranks do not exist.
