Question

Download the attached classification table (either in Word DOCX or PDF). For each variable, classify it in the three ways (Quantitative/Qualitative, Discrete/Continuous, Level of Measurement). For example, salary is reported as a continuous quantitative, ratio-scaled variable.

Salary (e.g. $53,000.00)

Gender (e.g. female)

Sales volume of MP3 players (e.g. 34,552)

Soft drink preference (e.g. lemonade)

Temperature (e.g. 87.24°F)

SAT scores (e.g. 1584)

Student rank in class (e.g. 3rd)

Rating of a finance professor (e.g. 3.5 out of 5)

Number of home computers (e.g. 2)

Pain felt by a patient (1 to 10
