The following information is collected from students upon exiting the campus bookstore a. Expected time until return is what type of variable? during the first week of classes. a. Expected time until return b. Miles to home c. Method of payment d. Number of computers owned 0 A. Numerical, continuous, ratio O B. Numerical, discrete, interval OC. Categorical, nominal O D. Numerical, continuous, interval O E. Categorical, ordinal F. Numerical, discrete, ratio Classify each of these variables as categorical or numerical. If the variable is numerical, determine whether the variable is discrete or continuous. In addition, determine the level of measurement for these variables

Solution

The answers are as follows:

a. D)

Reason: As time can be measured numerically over a period of interval continuously.

b. D.

Reason: same as in a)

c. C)

Reason: As the method of payment can\'t be quantified, they are catergorical. Moreover, it can neither be ranked so nominal.

d. C

Reason: same as in c

Thanks!
