Altitude is a concern for any airline pilot. Is altitude as reported by airline pilots an interval or a ratio variable?
What will be an ideal response?
Correct Answer:
Airline pilots report their altitude from the ground over which they are flying. For this reason altitude is an interval variable because the zero point is determined by ground level. If altitude were always measured from sea level then it would be ratio variable.
