Answer #1

A categorical variable in statistics can take a limited number of possible values and assignes each individual to a particular group or nominal category on the basis of some qualitative property.

And numerical variable is based on quantitative data .

Now, (I) Duration (in minutes) of a flight between two locations takes time for example,120 min , 55 min which is a numerical data.

(ii) product defect rates for a new cell phone is the amount of defective product divided by the number of product observed. Which is also a numerical data.

So the correct option is (3)

The assignment is: Next, in SPSS, run frequency distributions for each of the categorical variables and descriptive statistics for each of the continuous variables. Consider also creating a graph or chart in SPSS to describe these distributions. For variables that have very small frequencies in at least one category (e.g., less than 7 people in a category), think about combining that category with another if it makes conceptual sense (i.e., there are very few Native Americans, does it make sense...
