The error message is pretty obvious

is pretty obvious.

You have changed postgresql.conf with a value for autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor that is invalid.

Change that value back (the default is 0.1) and you should be able to start the service again (unless you have changed other configuration properties to an invalid value as well)

P.S.: it's Postgres, not Postgre
