Explain the difference between an interval schedule of reinforcement and a ratio schedule of reinforcement.

"Interval schedule reinforcement" is one where it is based on "time", in which if using a fixed-interval schedule, the reward is given out after a specific time, where as in a variable-interval schedule, the response is given in random intervals.

"Ratio schedule reinforcement" is when the schedule is given a unpredictable amount of responses, leading to a steady & high rate of responses, such as like when one buys lottery tickets.

In an interval schedule of reinforcement, a certain period of time must pass between reinforcements.  For example, if the interval is five minutes, then the first successful demonstration of the target behavior after five minutes will be rewarded.  No other target behaviors will be rewarded until another five minutes have passed, and then the next demonstration will receive a reinforcement.

In a ratio schedule of reinforcement, a certain number of successful demonstrations of the target behavior must occur before reinforcement is provided.  For example, if the ratio is four, then reinforcement will be given on the fourth example of a successful demonstration of the target behavior.

relative humidity, temperature and dew point -- are bound together in the mathematical relationship below. relative humidity changes when temperatures change. because warm air can hold more water vapor than cool air, relative humidity falls when the temperature rises if no moisture is added to the air. so i would say a
