What are the different types of graph scales?

There are mainly three types of graph scales: nominal, ordinal, and interval/ratio scales. Would you like to know more about each?

Yes, please explain nominal and ordinal scales.

Nominal scales categorize data without a specific order, like colors or names. Ordinal scales, however, rank data in a specific order, like survey ratings from 'poor' to 'excellent'.

What about interval and ratio scales?

Interval scales have equal distances between values but no true zero, like temperature in Celsius. Ratio scales have both equal distances and a true zero, like weight or height.

How do I choose the right scale for my data?

Choosing the right scale depends on the nature of your data and what you want to convey. Consider whether your data is categorical or numerical and if it has a meaningful zero.
