Answer to Question 1

B. Quantitative

FEEDBACK:
A credit score is a number, usually between 300 and 800, depending on which credit score is being used. This is a quantitative variable in that, for example, taking an average makes sense. A qualitative variable, also called a categorical variable, describes an entity by placing it into a category or group, such as male or female.

This unit is about correlation and regression, which typically involves predicting the value of a quantitative variable from a known value of another variable that, typically, is also quantitative.

Answer to Question 2

A.Physical attractiveness

FEEDBACK:
The video says that respondents ranked financial responsibility as important as physical attractiveness and compatibility when choosing a long term partner.
