For the following description of data, identify the variables and indicate whether each should be treated as categorical or quantitative, and if quantitative, the units in which it was
measured
People who get lost in
the desert, mountains, or woods often seem to wander in circles rather than walk in straight
lines. To see whether people naturally walk in circles in the absence of visual clues, researcher
Andrea Axtell tested 32 people on a football field. One at a time, they stood at the center of
one goal line, were blindfolded, and then tried to walk to the other goal line. She recorded
each individual's sex, height, handedness, the number of yards each was able to walk before
going out of bounds, and whether each wandered off course to the left or the right. No one
made it all the way to the far end of the field without crossing one of the sidelines.
