Question 1011977: Can someone help me solve this problem?
Determine which of the four levels of measurement​ (nominal, ordinal,​ interval, ratio) is most appropriate.
Monthly rainfall: 2.4 in, 2.7 in, 3 in, 3.3 in, and 3.6 in

Most appropriate : Ratio
Rainfall has a non-arbitrary zero point (no precipitation=0)
thus ratios between measurements are meaningful
(have a non-arbitrary set comparison point)
