Question

question 4 which of the following is a quantitative variable? d. average daily temperature c. ethnicity b. religion a. gender

Explanation:

A quantitative variable is one that can be measured numerically and has a numerical value associated with it.

• Option a (Gender) is a categorical variable as it represents distinct categories (male, female, etc.) and cannot be measured numerically in a meaningful quantitative sense.
• Option b (Religion) is also a categorical variable, representing different religious groups.
• Option c (Ethnicity) is a categorical variable, representing different ethnic groups.
• Option d (Average daily temperature) can be measured in numerical units like degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit, and it has a numerical value that can be used in calculations (e.g., finding the average of average daily temperatures over a week). So it is a quantitative variable.

Answer:

d. Average daily temperature
