A variable is a characteristic of an object. Their values may occur more than once for a set of data. We consider just two main types of variables in this course. Quantitative Variables - Variables whose values result from counting or measuring something. Examples: height, weight, time in the 100 yard dash, number of items sold to a shopper Qualitative Variables - Variables that are not measurement variables. Their values do not result from measuring or counting. Examples: hair color, religion, political party, profession Designator - Values that are used to identify individuals in a table. Designator values usually do not repeat in a table, but variable values often do repeat. Examples: name, rank, jersey number of a team member, cell phone number, license number. Exercises: In the tables below identify which columns represent qualitative variables, which columns represent quantitative variables, and which columns represent designators.

You may not use these examples for ESA 2, but you may use similar tables of information. The following information came from www.cjlt.ca/index.php/cjlt/article/viewArticle/34/31 on June 27, 2011. The table in the article contains a lot more information than this, so I just copied the information needed from the first 21 rows. This is a fairly complex example. There are much simpler examples available that would satisfy the criteria for ESA 2. The "Year" column is quantitative and the "Location" column is qualitative.

The other two possible qualitative variables, "Public Boat Landing" and "Other Public Access", have too many blank cells to be acceptable. Again, you may not use any of the examples given on this site for ESA 2, but you may use similar tables of information. Which of the following is a qualitative variable?Which of the following is a qualitative variable? A qualitative variable is one that can not be numerically measured and will mostly take nominal values for example hair color, eye color, etc.
What are 5 examples of quantitative data?Quantitative data examples in research. Weight in pounds.. Length in inches.. Distance in miles.. Number of days in a year.. A heatmap of a web page.. What are 3 examples of qualitative variables?Qualitative Variable: What is it?. Eye colors (variables include: blue, green, brown, hazel).. States (variables include: Florida, New Jersey, Washington).. Dog breeds (variables include: Alaskan Malamute, German Shepherd, Siberian Husky, Shih tzu).. What is a quantitative data variable?Quantitative data are data about numeric variables (e.g. how many; how much; or how often). Qualitative data are measures of 'types' and may be represented by a name, symbol, or a number code. Qualitative data are data about categorical variables (e.g. what type).
