Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ratio scale is the most appropriate for measuring birth and death rates because it has a true zero point (the absence of births or deaths) and allows for meaningful comparisons and calculations, such as calculating the rate of increase or decrease in the population over a period of time. Nominal and ordinal scales do not have numerical values, and interval scales do not have a true zero point, making them less suitable for measuring rates.
