Colorado to earn a Bachelor's degree from a state college or university. A random sample of 265 recent in-wstate graduates was surveyed
(a) identify the varible
(b) Is the varible quantitative or qualitative?
(c) What is the implied population?

(a) The variable is length of time it takes a resident of Colorado to earn a Bachelor's degree.

(b) Can the variable be expressed in numbers? If so, it is quantitative.

(c) Who are you going to use to measure the variable? Where are you going to get your subjects?

The change in the questions should help you answer the original questions.

(a) The variable in this scenario is the "time it takes a resident of Colorado to earn a Bachelor's degree from a state college or university."

(b) The variable is quantitative because it involves measuring a specific length of time.

(c) The implied population here would be all recent in-state graduates from Colorado state colleges or universities.
