Here is a brief explanation of the key points being asked about in the question:
1. A variable is any factor, trait, or condition that can be measured or manipulated in an experiment.
2. The main classifications of variables are:
- Qualitative variables which describe qualities or characteristics.
- Quantitative variables which can be measured numerically.
Within these there are further sub-classifications like nominal, ordinal and scale variables.
3. Qualitative variables are categorical while quantitative variables take on numerical values. Qualitative variables define properties while quantitative define amounts or magnitudes.
4. Discrete variables take on countable values while continuous can take any value within a range. Nominal variables are names/labels while ordinal indicate

quantity and answers the questions
“how many” or “how much”. 2. It describes the factors that differ between the test and the control samples. Matching type
3. It describes a quality or characteristic
of a data unit like “what type” or “which category”. 4. It takes place in a real-life setting, and not possible for the researcher to control, manipulate or alter all possible variables. Matching type

Illustrate the classifications of
variables and its types. (20 points) Explain briefly what is being asked for. 1.What is a variable? 2.What are the different classifications of variables? 3.Compare and contrast qualitative variables and quantitative variables. 4.When do we use discrete, continuous, nominal, ordinal? 5.How important is it for the researcher to identify the type of variables used in the study?
