Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Fahrenheit scale is an example of interval data. Interval data has equal intervals between values, but no true zero point. In Fahrenheit, there is no true zero point as the scale starts at -459.67°F, known as absolute zero, which is the theoretical coldest temperature possible, but not an actual absence of temperature. Therefore, Fahrenheit is an example of interval data.
