Answer #1

Nominal

A variable is nominal if it is categorical in nature (not a numerical value, but indicates the quality or category to which the variable belongs to) and there is no particular order to it. Answering 'Yes' or 'No' means you are putting the variable into either one of the above category. We also cannot say that 'Yes' > 'No' or vice versa. So, the variable is Nominal.
