ther mathematical operations to a nominal variable, since they don’t really function as numbers in a nominal variable, but rather as labels.

Interval and ratio variables allow us to perform arithmetic; with interval variables we can only add or subtract values, whereas with ratio variables we can also multiply and divide values.</p>
