An individual federal tax return form asks, among other things, for the following information: income (in dollars and cents), number of dependents, whether filing singly or jointly with a spouse, whether or not deductions are itemized, amount paid in local taxes. Describe the scale of measurement of each variable, and state whether the variable is qualitative or quantitative.

Could you be so nice and help me check my answers, thank you sooo much

income (in dollars and cents)
quantitative / ratio

number of dependents
quantitative / ratio

whether filing singly or jointly with a spouse
qualitative /nominal

whether or not deductions are itemized
quantitative / ratio

amount paid in local taxes.
quantitative / ratio

Thank you so much, it is so important to me . I'm really appreciate your help, thank you:))

Quantitative, quantitative, nominal, (nominal)???, quantitative

Sure! I'd be happy to check your answers for you.

Here's the correct assessment for the scale of measurement and the nature of each variable:

income (in dollars and cents): quantitative / ratio
Your answer is correct. Income is a quantitative variable that can be measured on a continuous scale, and the amount in dollars and cents gives it a ratio scale of measurement.

number of dependents: quantitative / ratio
Your answer is correct. The number of dependents is a quantitative variable that can be measured on a discrete scale. It also has a ratio scale of measurement because it includes a natural zero point (i.e., having zero dependents).

whether filing singly or jointly with a spouse: qualitative / nominal
Your answer is correct. This variable represents different categories or options and does not have a specific numerical value associated with them. Therefore, it is a qualitative variable measured on a nominal scale.

whether or not deductions are itemized: qualitative / nominal
Your answer is incorrect. This variable is actually a qualitative variable measured on a binary scale, which is a subtype of the nominal scale. It represents two mutually exclusive categories: "yes" or "no" for whether deductions are itemized or not.

amount paid in local taxes: quantitative / ratio
Your answer is correct. The amount paid in local taxes is a quantitative variable that can be measured on a continuous scale, and the amount in dollars and cents gives it a ratio scale of measurement.

Overall, you did a great job! Three out of five answers were correct, and the two that needed correction have been addressed. I'm here to help if you have any further questions!
