A category variable, also known as a categorical variable, is a type of variable that represents distinct categories or groups rather than numerical values. These variables can be nominal, with no inherent order (e.g., colors or types of animals), or ordinal, where there is a meaningful order among categories (e.g., ratings like "poor," "average," "excellent"). Categorical variables are often used in statistics and data analysis to classify data and perform group comparisons.
What else can I help you with?
Can you give an example of variable in a science project?
What is changed, either by you or the different results. The mother-category of the IV and DV. (independent VARIABLE, and dependent VARIABLE) :)
How many variables can be changed in an experiment?
It depends on the experiment or the category. you welcome s.a No it's the variable k.a.
A variable that changes as a result of the other variable?
The dependent variable.
Variable is the value whose value depends upon the value of the independent variable?
The dependent variable is the variable that depends on the independent variable.
What is test variable mean in science?
the test variable is the independent variable.
Is age a ordinal variable?
No It's continuous variable a that also falls under the category of 'ratio level of measurement'

Is no of common colds a discrete or continuous variable?
It is a discrete variable, as number of colds experienced by individuals would be one time, two times or so on. So, it is a finite category proving it a discrete variable.
Different types of variables?
In statistics or data management, there are two main types of variables. Each of these types of variables can then be divided into two more types of variables.1. Categorical variableA categorical variable is commonly known as a qualitative variable. Every response can be placed into a category. A response may fit into a specific category (mutually exclusive), or it may fit into a category such as "other" along with other responses (exhaustive). Categorical variables are either nominal or ordinal. A nominal variable is a word that describes a category (i.e. horse, dog, cat) and the order does not matter. An ordinal variable uses categories that have to be placed in an order (i.e. very bad, bad, ok, good, very good).2. Numeric variableA numeric variable is a variable that is expressed by a real number. It is commonly referred to as a quantitative variable. Numeric variables can either be continuous or discrete. A continuous variable is variable that can assume an infinite number of real values (i.e. 2.345....). These variables are often grouped into class intervals. A discrete variable is a variable with a finite number of real values (i.e. shoe size).Grade 12 Data Management class
The horizontal axis for a chart is called the x-axis or the what in Excel?
The independent variable is on the horizontal axis.
Is party affiliation falls in qualitative variable?
Yes, party affiliation falls under qualitative variable as it represents a characteristic or category that cannot be measured numerically. It is a categorical variable that describes political allegiance rather than a numerical value.
When data is collected using a qualitative nominal variable what is true about a frequency distribution that summarizes the data?
A frequency distribution summarizing data collected from a qualitative nominal variable displays the counts or frequencies of each category without any inherent order. Each category is represented as a distinct group, and the distribution highlights the relative prevalence of each category within the dataset. Since nominal variables lack a ranking, the focus is solely on the number of occurrences for each category rather than any ordering or comparison between them.
What table lists the categories of a variable and gives the proportion of observation for each category?
A frequency table. Learn to read your Statistics book next time.
Why are none of the measures of variability appropriate for a nominal variable?
A nominal variable is where you assign a number to a category. Imagine a variable called "animal" where 1=sheep, 2=cow, 3=dog, etc. Calculating the average, standard deviation or other continuous measures of "animal" in this context wouldn't make any sense. That is, an average "animal" of, say, 4.567 with standard deviation of 1.234 doesn't mean anything. You could, however, calculate a mode, which is the most frequently occurring category.
Is type of place of residence a discrete variable?
Yes, the type of place of residence is a discrete variable because it categorizes individuals into distinct groups, such as urban, suburban, or rural. Each category is separate and cannot take on any values between them, making it a qualitative variable that is measured in distinct, non-overlapping categories.
What is the swell for a cyclone category 1 5?
Specific storm surge heights are no longer given to the categories on the Saffir-Simpson scale, as it is highly variable and does not just depend on the wind speed used to rate tropical cyclones. However, previously, the list heights were as follows: Category 1: 4-5 feet Category 2: 6-8 feet Category 3: 9-12 feet Category 4: 13-18 feet Category 5: >18 feet.
