What is an interval in math term?

An interval is a subset of an order-numbered set; the interval includes a highest- numbered member of the subset and a lowest-numbered member of the subset and all members of the set with order numbers with values between that of the highest- and lowest-numbered members. This is more exactly called a "closed interval". An "open interval" is defined in the same way, except that the lowest-numbered and highest-numbered limits are not part of the subset.

Can a township be a interval variable?

Yes and no! To be an interval variable, the difference of values must be of value. Townships are a number generally assigned to 36 square mile areas. With no more information as to how the townships are laid out, just subracting the two numbers gives me no information of how far apart are the townships. Can townships be a statistic, requiring classification? They don't really vary so they are really parameters not statistics. However, if township numbers can be transformed into a real location on a Cartesian coordinate system, then it could be considered part of data collection, hence open to classification as nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio. Let me give an example. If I want to collect data on the number of people becoming sick in different townships, I can use this information to calculate, in a very approximate manner distances if I know the layout of the townships and can relate it to a real coordinate system like UTM or other longitude/ latitude based systems. The distances between disease incidences (using the center of the township as an average location) could be considered a random variable. Calculated distances based on township centers would be a ratio variable.

What are townships and sections?

These are arbitrary names for parcels of land, and the names of the items and their legality will depend upon the jurisdiction. 2nd Answer: Townships are 6-mile by 6-mile 'squares' of land that are used to divide land into legally-describable portions. Most land west of the Mississippi River is divided by Townships, but east of the Mississippi, the use of Townships is spotty and variable. The 36 Sections within a Township measure 1 mile square, more or less, and are numbered boustrephedonically - that is, 1 through 6, right to left, 7 through 12 left to right, 13 through 18 right to left, and so on. Townships are located by Range, that is, the number of Townships from some arbitrary and widely accepted starting monument east or west. Townships are also numbered by Tiers to the north or south. Tiers are often mistakenly called townships, too, but you can see the confusion that could result. As an example, a particular Section where I work is Section 33, Tier 15 North, Range 45 East from Willamette Meridian. Each Section is further divided by quarter sections, government lots, and tracts.
