Section I

This section uses data from a 2012 telephone survey of bicyclists and pedestrians conducted in the United States.

[1] The table below displays 10 rows of data collected from five items on this survey.

For the dataset, answer the following questions:

1. What are the individuals and the variables?

[Question keys are the Individuals and five variables (q51, q52, q87, q101, q103).]

2. For each variable, answer the following:

a. Is it categorical or quantitative (or an ID variable)?

b. If it is categorical, is it nominal or ordinal?

c. If it is quantitative, is it discrete or continuous?

3. How could Question 52 be modified so that the result is a categorical variable? Why might researchers want to?

[]

4. Why might Question 101 be designed so that the variable is (categorical/quantitative)?

[]

5. For Question 103, does the order of the codes matter? (Look at 6, 10, 7.)
