Ans:

In my point of view ratio scale is better is better than interval scale because:

It did not show all entire statistics. It has concept of equity. It is limited to some
functions. For example it shows the equal distance, percentage, equal level between objects.

It shows all the statistic of scales plus provision absolute zero. It represent actual amount of
variables. In this scale we understand all the aspects. So we understand it better.
