Consumer Reports will have an article comparing refrigerators in the next issue. Some of the characteristics to be included in the report are the brand name and model; whether it has a top freezer, bottom freezer, or side-by-side layout; the estimated energy consumption per year (kilowatts); whether or not it is Energy Star compliant; the width, depth, and height in inches; and both the freezer and refrigerator net capacity, in cubic feet. What variables are categorical, and which are quantitative?

whether it has a top freezer, bottom freezer, or side-by-side LAYOUT - - > CATEGORICAL

the estimated energy consumption per year (kilowatts); - - - > QUANTITATIVE

whether or not it is Energy Star COMPLIANT - - > CAREGORICAL

both the freezer and refrigerator net capacity, in cubic FEET - - - > QUANTITATIVE

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following refrigerator characteristics :

brand name and model - - > CATEGORICAL

whether it has a top freezer, bottom freezer, or side-by-side LAYOUT - - > CATEGORICAL

the estimated energy consumption per year (kilowatts); - - - > QUANTITATIVE

whether or not it is Energy Star COMPLIANT - - > CAREGORICAL

the width, depth, and height in INCHES - - - > QUANTITATIVE

both the freezer and refrigerator net capacity, in cubic FEET - - - > QUANTITATIVE

To start with ; Categorical and quantitative variables differ most notably in the fact that, quantitative variables deals with numbers, measurements or calculated mathematical values of certain attribute in a measured species or sample. Categorical variable on the other hand mostly deals with making distinctions in properties of a sample by grouping the varibale into the different available categories based on their attributes.
