Answer and explanation:

First, let's understand the difference between categorical and quantitative variables. A quantitative variable can also be called a numerical variable. As this name suggests, it involves numbers. It can be measured numerically and be used in calculations - this is important, because not everything that has numbers is used in calculations; take the zip code as an example. On the other hand, a categorical variable cannot be expressed numerically in the same way described above. It is related to a certain quality or characteristic of something. For instance, you can attribute the number one to a person who is sick and the number two to a person who is not sick. The numbers are just a representation of the qualities; they won't be used in calculations. Now, we can safely judge the options given:

The price in dollars of statistics textbooks. --> quantitative

The working status of a computer part (working/not working). --> categorical

The gender of faculty in the mechanical engineering department. --> categorical

The number of miles until failure of a certain brand of tires. --> quantitative

The political party affiliation of students at OSU. --> categorical

The time to complete an exam. --> quantitative

The shirt sizes of a running club. --> categorical

In the famous milgram experiment on obedience, who received a shock?
Elena L [17]
Actually no one received the electric shocks, an actor pretended to receive them while the subject who was participating in the study followed the instructions and believed that he was giving the electric shocks. This study measured the level of obedience that a person can develop when faced with an authority figure that gives him orders.

I hope this information can help you.
