An interval scale does not have a true zero point but has values that represent equal intervals. This means that the numerical values assigned to the objects or events being measured indicate the order of the observations and the distance between them, but there is no true zero point representing the absence of the variable being measured. Examples of interval scales include temperature scales such as Fahrenheit and Celsius, which have equal distance intervals between each point (i.e., a difference of 10 degrees Fahrenheit is the same as a difference of 10 degrees Celsius), but there is no true zero point (i.e., 0 degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius does not represent the absence of temperature).
