Question

1. determine whether the following variable is quantitative or categorical:

birth month
○ quantitative
○ categorical

Explanation:

To determine if "Birth month" is quantitative or categorical, we analyze the nature of the variable. Categorical variables represent groups or categories, while quantitative variables are numerical and represent quantities. Birth month (e.g., January, February, etc.) is a category, not a numerical quantity that can be measured or counted in a way that involves arithmetic operations (like adding or averaging months as numbers in a meaningful quantitative sense). So it is a categorical variable.

Answer:

Categorical
