Expert Solution
Step 1

The four different scales : Nominal, Ordinal, Interval and Ratio represent levels of measurements of variables.

The nominal scale is the first level of measurement and is only used for labelling without any order of variables.

The second level is ordinal data, which is used for labelling with an order of the variables.

The third level is the interval data which is ordered and also has a specific interval between two variables. 

Ratio scale is similar to interval scale, but it also accommodated zero.
