Categorical variables take on a limited and at times a fixed number of value possibilities. If in fields such as Compute Science or Mathematics, they are referred to as enumerated types. In some cases possible values of a variable may be classified as levels.
A contingency table is a display of the frequency distribution of two or more categorical variables. It shows the relationship between the variables by organizing the data into rows and columns, with the intersection cells showing the frequency of each combination of variables. Contingency tables are commonly used in statistics to analyze the association between categorical variables.
Test variables are the factors that are intentionally changed or manipulated by the researcher in an experiment, whereas outcome variables are the factors that are measured and affected by the test variables. Test variables are the independent variables that are controlled by the researcher, while outcome variables are the dependent variables that change in response to the test variables. The relationship between the test variables and outcome variables is explored to determine the effect of the test variables on the outcome variables.
Dependent variables are the outcomes or responses that are measured to assess the effect of manipulating the independent variables. They depend on the changes made to the independent variables in the experiment.
A correlation diagram visually represents the relationship between variables in a dataset. It shows how strongly and in what direction variables are related to each other.
Some controlled variables when using a lemon for an experiment could be its size, ripeness, temperature, and the method of extraction of the lemon juice. These variables should be kept constant throughout the experiment to ensure that any changes observed are due to the manipulated independent variable and not these controlled variables.
No, a crosstabulation does not have to include both categorical and quantitative variables. It is primarily used to summarize the relationship between two categorical variables. However, quantitative variables can be categorized into groups or bins to create a crosstabulation, but it's not a requirement.
Categorical data is the statistical data type consisting of categorical variables or of data that has been converted into that form, for example as grouped data.

Categorical variables measure characteristics or qualities that can be divided into distinct categories or groups. These variables represent non-numeric data, such as gender, color, or type of vehicle, where each category is mutually exclusive. They help in organizing data into meaningful classifications, allowing for analysis of patterns and relationships within the data. Categorical variables can be further classified into nominal and ordinal types, depending on whether the categories have a natural order or ranking.

Age is acontinuousvariable because it can bemeasured with numbers. A categorical variable deals with nominal variables example male or female, political view, etc
Analysis of covariance is used to test the main and interaction effects of categorical variables on a continuous dependent variable, controlling for the effects of selected other continuous variables, which co-vary with the dependent. The control variables are called the "covariates."
A categorical variable (also known as a discrete variable) is one whose range is countable; e.g. the variable answ has values [yes, no, not sure]. answ is a categorical variable with range 3.A continuous variable is one which is not categorical; e.g. weight is a continuous variable which can take any value between 0 and 1000 kg (say) for a human being.
Race, Sex, Age group, education level, hair color... Good examples but we might elaborate: we may give categories names. Take for example the variable, hair color. We might name each of the categories like this: red, blonde, black, etc. In this case we would have nominal categorical variables. Further we can think or categorical variables as being ordered such as income level: high, medium, low, very low or socioeconomic class: low, middle, high. These are called ordinal categorical variables because they represent levels and are grouped in levels say from high to low. As another example you might group temperature levels (categories) as cold, cool, warm and hot. So you have nominal categorical variables and ordinal categorical variables. We like to put things into categories. We have classrooms, offices, addresses, etc. We have grade levels in school. What type of categorical variables is "grade"? I graduated from the 3rd grade but my father graduated from the sixth grade. Who has the highest level of education? Why do we categorize things in the world? We group things so we can make sense of the diversity around us. We catgorize animals into species; we even name people when they are born. Is a person's name a variable? Sure is! It's nominal variable. Why is a person's name a variable? Because name changes or varies from person to person. What about the number of people in a classroom. Is that a categorical variable?name of the school
