1
What type of statistical variable is 'Distance between two cities'?
Quantitative - Continuous (Distance is measured and can take any numerical value, including decimals) - Applicable Tests: Parametric tests (Regression, Correlation), or as the dependent variable in Comparison tests (T-tests, ANOVA)::
2
What type of statistical variable is 'Temperature (in °C or °F)'?
Quantitative - Continuous (It is measured and varies along a scale) - Applicable Tests: Parametric tests (Regression, Correlation), or as the dependent variable in Comparison tests (T-tests, ANOVA)::
3
What type of statistical variable is 'Car brand (Toyota, Ford, Honda)'?
Qualitative - Nominal (These are names/categories with no inherent order) - Applicable Tests: Chi-square tests (Goodness of Fit, Test of Independence), or as the independent variable in Comparison tests (T-tests, ANOVA)::
4
What type of statistical variable is 'Gender (Male, Female, Non-binary)'?
Qualitative - Nominal (It is a category without a ranking system) - Applicable Tests: Chi-square tests (Goodness of Fit, Test of Independence), or as the independent variable in Comparison tests (T-tests, ANOVA)::

7
What type of statistical variable is 'Nationality'?
Qualitative - Nominal (It identifies a group without a numerical scale or order) - Applicable Tests: Chi-square tests (Goodness of Fit, Test of Independence), or as the independent variable in Comparison tests (T-tests, ANOVA)::
8
What type of statistical variable is 'Blood type (A, B, AB, O)'?
Qualitative - Nominal (It's a category with no natural ranking) - Applicable Tests: Chi-square tests (Goodness of Fit, Test of Independence), or as the independent variable in Comparison tests (T-tests, ANOVA)::
9
What type of statistical variable is 'Likert Scale (Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree)'?
Qualitative - Ordinal (The responses follow a logical order from low to high agreement) - Applicable Tests: Nonparametric tests, Chi-square tests, or Parametric tests (if treated as a quantitative numeric scale)::
10
What type of statistical variable is 'Education level (High School, Bachelor’s, Master’s, PhD)'?
Qualitative - Ordinal (These categories have a clear, meaningful hierarchy) - Applicable Tests: Nonparametric tests, or Chi-square tests::
11
What type of statistical variable is 'Height (in cm)'?
Quantitative - Continuous (It can take any value and is measured) - Applicable Tests: Parametric tests (Regression, Correlation), or as the dependent variable in Comparison tests (T-tests, ANOVA)::
12
What type of statistical variable is 'Customer satisfaction (Poor, Fair, Good, Excellent)'?
Qualitative - Ordinal (These are categories that follow a specific rank or scale) - Applicable Tests: Nonparametric tests, Chi-square tests, or Parametric tests (if treated as a quantitative numeric scale)::
13
