Ratio Data is defined as quantitative data, having the same properties as interval data, with an equal and definitive ratio between each data and absolute “zero” being treated as a point of origin.

In other words, there can be no negative numerical value in ratio data.

• Ratio data has all properties of interval data such as – data should have numeric values, a distance between the two points are equal, etc. but, unlike interval data where zero is arbitrary, in ratio data, zero is absolute.
