You can put this solution on YOUR website! A) Classify the following as an example of nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio level of measurement, and state why it represents this level:
temperature in 25 US cities
I think it is interval because it does not have a real zero--the zero temp is
an arbitrary number.

(B) Determine if this data is qualitative or quantitative: Gender
Qualitative

(C) In your own line of work, give one example of a discrete and one example of a continuous random variable, and describe why each is continuous or discrete.
time is always continuous
money values are always discrete
You should specify the examples.
