Dimensionless quantities, or quantities of dimension one, [1] are quantities implicitly defined in a manner that prevents their aggregation into units of measurement. [2] [3] Typically expressed as ratios that align with another system, these quantities do not necessitate explicitly defined units.
The item-total correlation approach is a way of identifying a group of questions whose responses can be combined into a single measure or scale. This is a simple approach that works by ensuring that, when considered across a whole population, responses to the questions in the group tend to vary together and, in particular, that responses to no individual question are poorly related to an ...

Standardized coefficients' advocates note that the coefficients are independent of the involved variables' units of measurement (i.e., standardized coefficients are unitless), which makes comparisons easy. [3] Critics voice concerns that such a standardization can be very misleading.
Here, temperature is being specified using the current ITS-90 scale and the densities [5] used here and in the rest of this article are based on that scale. On the previous IPTS-68 scale, the densities at 20 °C and 4 °C are 0.998 2041 and 0.999 9720 respectively, [ 6 ] resulting in an SG (20 °C/4 °C) value for water of 0.998 232 .
By assuming a form of Coulomb's law in which the Coulomb constant k e is taken as unity, Maxwell then determined that the dimensions of an electrostatic unit of charge were Q = T −1 L 3/2 M 1/2, [15] which, after substituting his M = T −2 L 3 equation for mass, results in charge having the same dimensions as mass, viz. Q = T −2 L 3.
Examples include a 3-dimensional scale model of a building or the scale drawings of the elevations or plans of a building. [1] In such cases the scale is dimensionless and exact throughout the model or drawing. The scale can be expressed in four ways: in words (a lexical scale), as a ratio, as a fraction and as a graphical (bar) scale.
