Unit #1 AS: Identifying variablesIn this assignment you will demonstrate your ability to identify types of variables and define how you would measure hypotheses. 

In Part 1 you will be presented several dependent variables. For each variable you will need to indicate (1) whether the variable is nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio; and (2) whether it is classified as discrete or continuous.In Part 2 you will identify (1) the Independent variable, (2) the dependent variables, and (3) any confounding variables.In Part 3 you will provide a operational definitions for the presented hypotheses. These answers will be filled out on the provided word document and submitted via blackboard.Part 1For each of the following dependent variables indicate:whether the measurement scale is discrete or continuous (1 pt each)whether it is nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio. (2 pts each)The different heights of children in a fourth grade classroomThe divisions of the American League (East, West, and Central) in Major League Baseball.The number of pennies sitting in a jarThe time taken to deliver newspapers on a delivery routeYour age relative to the average age of other students in the class.The level of pain a patient indicates on a pain scale of 1-10The counties of IrelandThe height of a pier above or below the surface the of the waterThe Nation Weather Service’s classification of Hurricanes as Categories 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5of water in an Olympic Swimming PoolPart 2Professor Smith is investigating whether individuals are more likely to buy food items if they are told those items are on sale.

In one store theitems are listed as on sale and in the other store they are listed as the actual price. The researcher records how many of the different items are sold throughout the week.The independent variable is (4 pts) ________________________________.The dependent variable is (4 pts) __________________________________.Name one variable that Professor Smith failed to control but, in your opinion, should have (2 pts) ________________________________________________.Part 3Operationally define the following hypotheses: (5 pts each)“Children with supportive parents perform better in school.”“Spanking children leadsthem to be more violent”"Attractive people are happier then unattractive people""There are plenty of fish in the sea"
