Question

1. what specific variable type is race?

a. nominal
b. discrete
c. ordinal
d. continuous
e. binary

Explanation:

Race is a categorical variable where categories have no order. Nominal variables are categorical variables without an inherent order. Discrete variables are countable but race is not about counting in that sense. Ordinal variables have an order. Continuous variables are numerical and can take any value in an interval. Binary variables have only two categories. Since race categories like White, Black, Asian etc. have no order, it is nominal.

Answer:

A. Nominal
