Q. Which of the following is a term for a variable that researchers do not control and that can affect the results of a study?
If a variable cannot be controlled for, it becomes what is known as a confounding variable.
Q. What are the variables in a study?
A variable in research simply refers to a person, place, thing, or phenomenon that you are trying to measure in some way. The best way to understand the difference between a dependent and independent variable is that the meaning of each is implied by what the words tell us about the variable you are using.
Q. What is an example of a nominal variable?
Examples of nominal variables include: genotype, blood type, zip code, gender, race, eye color, political party.
Q. Is age an ordinal variable?
Age can be both nominal and ordinal data depending on the question types. I.e “How old are you” is a used to collect nominal data while “Are you the first born or What position are you in your family” is used to collect ordinal data. Age becomes ordinal data when there’s some sort of order to it.
Q. Is gender an ordinal variable?
There are two types of categorical variable, nominal and ordinal. For example, gender is a categorical variable having two categories (male and female) with no intrinsic ordering to the categories. An ordinal variable has a clear ordering.
Q. Is GPA an ordinal value?
GPA is reflective of your grade. While the letter grade to numerical contribution for a single subject is ordinal, the moment you compute a grade point average you already treated it as interval at that moment (otherwise you have no basis on which to assert that A+C = B+B).
Q. Is a year nominal or ordinal?
Month should be considered qualitative nominal data. With years, saying an event took place before or after a given year has meaning on its own.
Q. Are names nominal or ordinal?
Summary. In summary, nominal variables are used to “name,” or label a series of values. Ordinal scales provide good information about the order of choices, such as in a customer satisfaction survey. Interval scales give us the order of values + the ability to quantify the difference between each one.
