For black non-hispanic people, 88% said it's a big problem, 9% said it is somewhat of a problem, 2% a small problem, and 1% said it is not a problem. (2020) Question 1 There are two variables in the paragraph above. What is the first variable that appears in the paragraph? (The next question will have you identify the second variable.) Identify (1) the variable; (2) the answer categories; and (3) level of measurement below. (1) Racism Problem; (2) Big problem, somewhat of a problem, small problem, not a problem; (3) Ordinal. I have no idea. (1) Racism Problem; (2) white non-hispanic, black non-hispanic; (3) Nominal.

Answer 1

The first variable is 'Racism Problem', with categories 'Big problem', 'somewhat of a problem', 'small problem', and 'not a problem', and the level of measurement is ordinal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first variable that appears in the paragraph from the CNN poll is Racism Problem, which refers to the opinions on how big a problem racism is in our society today. The answer categories for this variable are Big problem, somewhat of a problem, small problem, and not a problem. These categories represent the ordinal level of measurement since they can be ordered from the greatest degree of the problem to the least. Therefore, the correct identification is: (1) Racism Problem; (2) Big problem, somewhat of a problem, small problem, not a problem; (3) Ordinal.
