Question

A data set lists apartments available for students to rent. Information provided includes the monthly rent, whether or not cable is included free of charge, whether or not pets are allowed, the number of bedrooms, and the distance to the campus. Describe the cases in the data set, give the number of variables, and specify whether each variables is categorical or quantitative. Often the variables in a statistical study are easy to understand: height in centimeters, study time in minutes, and so on. But each area of work also has its own special variables. A psychologist uses the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), and a physical fitness expert measures "VO2 max, " the volume of oxygen consumed per minute while exercising at your maximum capacity. Both of these variables are measured with special instruments. VO2 max is measured by exercising while breathing into a mouth- piece connected to an apparatus that measures oxygen consumed. Scores on the MMPI are based on a long questionnaire, which is also an instrument. Part of mastering your field of work is learning what variables are important and how they are best measured. Because details of particular measurements usually require knowledge of the particular field of study, we will say little about them. Be sure that each variable really does measure what you want it to. A poor choice of variables can lead to misleading conclusions. Often, for example, the rate at which something occurs is a more meaningful measure than a simple count of occurrences.
