Answer:

The ratio level of measurement is most appropriate because the data can be ordered differences can be found and are meaningful, and there is a natural starting zero point.

That's the correct answer since our variable is numerical and have a natural starting point at 0 and the negative values not makes sense.

Step-by-step explanation:

The interval level of measurement is most appropriate because the data can be ordered, differences (obtained by subtraction) can be found and are meaningful, and there is no natural starting point.

Our variable is numerical but we have a starting point defined so it can't be an interval variable.

The nominal level of measurement is most appropriate because the data cannot be ordered.

False on this case the bolume can't be a nominal variable since we don't have a categorical variable.

The ordinal level of measurement is most appropriate because the data can be ordered, but differences (obtained by subtraction) cannot be found or are meaningless.

False we don't have ordered relationship among the variable’s observations

The ratio is more appropriate for the measurement.

Measurement

The act of measuring something.

To find

Which is more appropriate among nominal, ordinal,​ interval, ratios.

How to decide?

Nomial level of measurement is more appropriate but the data can not be ordered.

The ordinal level of measurement is most approp[iate because the data can be ordered. But the difference can not be found.

The ratio level is more appropriate because data can be ordered and differences can be found and are meaningful.

Thus, the ratio is more appropriate for the measurement.
