An inherent null is a null. Three examples that are inherently zero are mean age of college graduates, average monthly body weight, and maximum wind speed during a hurricane. Three that do not appear are year of birth, body weight in space, and year of car accident.

In statistics, an inherent zero is a reference point used to describe data sets indicative of magnitude of an absolute or relative nature. Inherent zeros are used in the “ratio level” of “measurement levels” and imply “none”.
However, there is no inherent (natural) zero starting point (where there is no set). Examples are temperatures, years or IQs.
An inherent null is a null that implies “none”..
The main difference (once again) between interval and ratio scales is that the zero point on a ratio scale represents a natural zero magnitude of the object being measured.
Data is at this level when it can be ordered, differences can be found and are meaningful, and there is a natural starting point of zero (where zero indicates NO set ). For data at this level, both differences and ratios are meaningful.
At absolute zero (zero Kelvin), the system must be in the lowest possible energy state. Entropy is related to the number of accessible microstates, and there is typically a unique state (called the ground state) with minimal energy. In such a case the entropy at absolute zero is exactly zero.
There are four laws of thermodynamics. They talk about temperature, heat, work and entropy.
Third Law of Thermodynamics
Vapour/water vapors are the gaseous forms of water at high temperatures. The molecules in the vapor move randomly. Therefore it has high entropy.
An inherent null is a null. Three examples that are inherently zero are mean age of college graduates, average monthly body weight, and maximum wind speed during a hurricane. Three that don’t are year of birth, body weight in space, and year of car accident.
However, there is no inherent (natural) zero starting point (where NO set is present). Ratios at this level are not meaningful. is the interval level modified to include the inherent zero starting point (where zero indicates there is NO set of the set)..
Happiness is essentially measured at the ordinal level of measurement.
Time is considered an interval variable because the differences between all time points are equal, but there is no “true zero” value for time.
The ratio level variables have all the properties of nominal, ordinal and interval variables, but also have a meaningful zero point. So the zero point is real and not arbitrary, and a value of zero actually means there is nothing.
Interval Scales of Measurement
This is because there is no absolute zero, the zero is arbitrary. On the Celsius temperature scale, zero is taken as the point at which water freezes and 100°C is when water begins to boil, and between these extremes the scale is divided into 100 equal parts.
Ordinal: The data can be categorized and ordered. Interval: The data can be categorized, ranked and evenly distributed. Ratio: The data can be categorized, ranked, evenly distributed, and has a natural zero.
