| If you have more than five unique numbers, numeric data points, |
|
|
|
|
| then you likely have data that can be treated as ratio level data. |
|
|
|
|
| If the data has decimals or fractional values, then it is certainly ratio level data |
|
|
|
|
| even if the number of values is less than five. |
|
|
|
|
| Ultimately one can ask, "Does the average have a meaningful meaning?" |
|
|
|
|
| If the average (the mean) has "meaning" then the data can be treated as ratio |
|
|
|
|
| level data. |
|
|
|
|
| The above data has some 528 possible values between min and max, continuous |
|
|
|
|
| and ratio level for all intents and purposes. |
