Examples of ratio in the following topics:
-
- These schedules are described as either fixed or variable and as either interval or ratio.
- With a fixed-ratio schedule, there are a set number of responses that must occur before the behavior is rewarded.
- In a variable-ratio schedule, the number of responses needed for a reward varies.
- In general, ratio schedules consistently elicit higher response rates than interval schedules because of their predictability.
- A fixed-ratio schedule is predictable and produces a high response rate, with a short pause after reinforcement (e.g., eyeglass sales).
-
- The mean is the average of the values in a data set, and can only be computed for interval and ratio data.
- The median can be computed for ordinal, interval, and ratio data.
-
- The muscle-to-fat ratio for both men and women also changes throughout middle adulthood, with an accumulation of fat in the stomach area.
-
- The mean can only be calculated with interval and ratio data.
- The median can be computed for ordinal, interval, and ratio data.
-
- The ratio between muscle and fat in post-pubertal males is around 1:3, while for males it is about 5:4.
