Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The variable being measured is the level of happiness, which is measured on a numeric scale from 1 to 10. This indicates that it is a quantitative variable, as opposed to a categorical variable which would have distinct categories such as yes/no or different demographic groups. The terms independent and dependent are not relevant in this context.
