Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information.

An ordinal scale measurement does not give room to know the actual difference that coexists between the two measurements in a variable but in an interval scale of measurement, it is possible to deduce the actual difference that coexists between the two measurements in a variable.

Similarly, the ordinal scale only shows the rank of observations as per size and magnitude but in case of interval scale, it consists of classes with equal size, differentiated into direction and magnitude.
