Identify whether the following variables are numerical or categorical. If numerical, state whether the variable is discrete or c

ontinuous. If categorical, state whether the categories have a natural order (ordinal) or not (nominal). (10 pts) (a) Fraction (or percentage) of birds in a large sample infected with avian flu virus (b) Number of crimes committed by a randomly sampled individual (c) Gender (d) Logarithm of body mass (e) Stage of fruit ripeness (e.g., underripe, ripe, or overripe) (f) Tree species (g) Petal area of rose flowers

Solution :

Variables are of two types --- Numerical variable and Categorical variable.

The numerical variable includes measurement and numbers that can be counted. It is also known as quantitative variable. It is of two types --- Discrete and continuous variables.

The categorical variable includes the description of the groups or the things like the type of clothes, color of eyes, etc. that cannot be counted. It is also called qualitative variable. It is of two types -- Nominal variable and Ordinal Variable.

In the context,

a). The percentage or fraction of birds that are infected by a flu is numerical continuous variable.

b). The number of the crimes committed by an individual can be a whole number only and is countable. So it is a Numerical discrete variable.

c). Gender of a person is categorized as male or female. Therefore it is a categorical nominal variable.

d). The logarithm of the body mass is not countable and the body mass can be in decimal form also. So it is a Numerical continuous variable.

e). The different stages of a fruit ripeness can be categorized as fully ripe or unripe i.e. it ranges from unripe fruits to overripe fruits. So it is Categorical ordinal variables.

f). Tree species can be named for the different types of species of the trees. So it is Categorical nominal variable.

g). The petal area of a rose flower cannot be count as the numbers of he petals are not fixed, so it is a Numerical continuous variable.

A bug splatters on the windshield of a moving car. Describe the 1. Forces 2. Impulses 3. Momentum changes 4. And accelerations o
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

acceleration=force/mass

Due to variation in the mass[ as same force as per magnitude acts on both of them] the acceleration developed in the bug will be more and the acceleration developed in the car is negligible.

impulse=change in momentum

The impulse of bug is more and that of car is small.

momentum changes=change in momentum

force=change in momentum/time of contact

the force exerted by car on the bug will be more than the converse

Total. momentum is conserved , so magnitude of change in momemtum or impulse is same. By Newtons third law, since the bug have smaller mass, its change in magnitude of velocity is larger.
