#demystifying statistics
In this example we can see the following
1. Variable: A characteristic or attribute that can take different values
in the data set: Gender, Age, Volume harvested, Variety, Land
owned, etc
2. Observations: These are values under each variable. For isntance
the variable gender can take two observations(Male, Females),
the Volumes harvested can take various observations depending
on each farmer
From here we note that data can be either quantitative or qualitative. data (a variable) is quantitative (quantity) if we can quantify the observation by numbers. E.g. Volumes of Irish Potato harvested: we can quantify the number of bags then this is a quantitative data under this variable.
Now you can tell the nature of data under the variable gender, Variety, and total land owned. If you can not please inbox me.
