Which of the following variables are qualitative and which are quantitative? If the variable is quantitative, then specify whether the variable is discrete or continuous.a. Points scored in a football game.b. Racial composition of a high school classroom.c. Heights of 15-year-olds.

Respuesta :

Quantitative in general involves number while qualitative does not involves number. For example, you can count the point scored in a football game which is considered as quantitative. While you cannot count racial composition because it involves different quality or type.  

Quantitative is further divided into two type; discrete and continuous. Discrete variable involves integers while in between two values of a continuous variable, there are an infinite number which is valid and this is not the case for discrete variables.

Qualitative is variable something that you cannot count.

Answer:

A. Points scored in a football game - Quantitative; discrete

B. Racial composition of a high school classroom - Qualitative

C. Heights of 15-year-olds - Quantitative; continuous
