Question

determine whether the variable given is qualitative - nominal, qualitative - ordinal, quantitative - discrete, or quantitative - continuous. variable: locker number. options: qualitative - ordinal since this variable would yield categories with an order; quantitative - discrete since this variable would yield numbers that count; qualitative - nominal since this variable would yield categories with no implied order; quantitative - continuous since this variable would yield numbers that measure.

Explanation:

Locker numbers are labels used to identify distinct lockers, not numerical values that represent a count or measurement. There is no inherent order or ranking to locker numbers (e.g., locker 10 is not "greater" than locker 5 in a meaningful ordered sense). This fits the definition of qualitative-nominal data, which are categories with no implied order.

Answer:

qualitative-nominal since this variable would yield categories with no implied order
