What is the variable of interest and is this variable Quantitative or Qualitative

A) success = support ban, qualitative

B) amount of aerosols used yearly, quantitative 

C) success = support ban, quantitative 

D) amount of aerosols used yearly, qualitative 

In 1995, it was determined that 78% of US

occurred.
What is the population?
[ Select ]
What is the variable of interest and is this
variable Quantitative or Qualitative?
[ Select ]
In other words: what is the one piece of info
we care about for each individual in the
population? Is it a quantitative measurement?
Or do we determine if each individual belongs
to a certain category (referred to as success) or
not (failure)?
If it is a quantitative measurement, then the
population is filled with numbers. Otherwise,
the population is filled with words.
