Which of the following is NOT an example of a continuous variable?
A) A) Time it takes you to finish a math problem
B) B) Your weight
C) C) The temperature in your city
D) D) Your shoe size
E) E) All of these are examples of a continuous variable
Def: Continuous Variable- a variable whose attributes form a steady progression, such as age or income.
Answer: D) Shoe size, is NOT an example of a continuous variable since shoe sizes do not run in every measurement possible. Sizes come in whole or half sizes only. It is impossible to have a shoe size of 7.9, for example. A continuous variable does not skip a step.
What type of quantitative analysis would you use if you were interested in looking at the relationship between labor wages and citizenship status, in particular those who are undocumented and have low levels of education?
A) A) Exploratory Analysis
B) B) Bivariate Analysis
C) C) Multivariate Analysis
D) D) None of the above
Answer: C) Multivariate Analysis
Def: The analysis of the simultaneous relationships among several variables.
This particular study requires a multivariate analysis on the effects of citizenship status and education on labor wages. You are measuring three variables and their relationships to each other.
