Answer 1

a) quantitative - continuous

b) qualitative

c) quantitative - discrete

d) quantitative - discrete

Step-by-step explanation:

A qualitative variable describes an object or its property without counting or measuring. Therefore it does not include any numbers.

A quantitative variable is one which results from counting or measuring a property of an object or situation. If the variable arises from counting, it is called discrete, and if it arises from any measurement, it is called continuous.
