Answer:

a) The variable of interest is the students' preferred way/method of study.

b) The variable of interest is a qualitative variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The survey was setup to investigate the preferred way of study for students in Orange County Community College.

Hence, the variable of interest is the students' preferred way/method of study.

b) Since this variable of interest cannot take on numerical values, it can only be expressed in qualitative means (in the different ways that students study), the variable of interest is a qualitative variable.
