For this problem, we are told that for each of the variables described below, we are to indicate whether it is a quantitative or a categorical qualitative variable.
00:10
Also, we are to indicate the level of measurement for the variable, nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio.
00:16
And we're asked to make sure that our responses are the most specific possible.
00:20
So, one moment here.
00:23
I'll note that i'm not sure if these are actually the examples that are used for the question that you are looking at, but i'll sort of use this as an example that will hopefully guide you.
00:34
So the first thing that i'll note is that quantitative, quantitative, we can think of as giving quantities, which are specific numbers.
00:55
Whereas for qualitative, that is giving qualities, which is essentially a description.
01:13
Then i have a handy little graphic that i can use here for describing the different levels of measurement.
01:20
Nominal would be named variables so we can expect that nominal will probably go along with qualitative ordinal would be named and ordered variables again that would we would expect that to be a kind of qualitative measurement most of the time then interval named ordered and proportionate interval between variables that would be something like temperature measurement and then ratio would accommodate an absolute zero.

So for occupation, you would describe what your job is...
