Jane is a Canadian citizen. She is kind, goal-oriented, knowledgeable in literature, outgoing and musically inclined. Which of these characteristics would be considered a dichotomous variable?

her nationality

Answer: Her nationality would be considered as dichotomous variable

Step-by-step explanation:

Dichotomous variables are the qualitative variables with only two categories (for example : yes or no, failure or success ... etc.).

The characteristics of Jane are:

She is a Canadian citizen. (Nationality) She is kind. (Behavior) She is goal-oriented. (nature) She is knowledgeable in literature. (Knowledge) She is outgoing. (Behavior) She is musically inclined. (Behavior)

Here, only her nationality can be considered as dichotomous variable since it has two possible outcomes either she is Canadian citizen or not.

Rest of other qualities such as behavior, knowledge, nature may have more than two possible outcomes.

Hence, her nationality would be considered as dichotomous variable.
