Natural Gas Reforming/Gasification: Synthesis gas, a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and a small amount of carbon dioxide, is created by reacting natural gas with high-temperature steam. The carbon monoxide is reacted with water to produce additional hydrogen.
Measurement scales are used to categorize and/or quantify variables. This lesson describes the four scales of measurement that are commonly used in statistical analysis: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio scales. Each scale of measurement satisfies one or more of the following properties of measurement.
Interval scales are measurement systems that possess the properties of magnitude and intervals, but not the property of rational zero. It is appropriate to compute the statistics described in the rest of the book when the scale type is interval.
