My doubt:
according to the screenshot below, height , weight …etc is also considered in the interval

but (https://app.dataquest.io/m/284/variables-in-statistics/6/the-interval-and-ratio-scales) in the next screen , for answer of interval only birthdate and weight_deviation columns is considered from wnba. why not height , weight ?

The examples stated can be measured either on an interval scale or on a ratio scale.

Because height and weight are measured on ratio intervals. This is specified in the content too -

On a ratio scale, the zero point means no quantity. For example, the Weight variable is measured on a ratio scale, which means that 0 grams indicate the absence of weight.

weight and height having zero points on a scale means no quantity. For example, you don’t exist if you have 0 height and 0 weight.
