Question
Classify the variables in the paragraph below as numerical and continuous; numerical and discrete; categorical; ordinal scale.
A typical Super Steak restaurant serves anywhere from 200 to 500 full meals every day. Fast customer turnover is essential, which in turn requires high reliability from the staff, so attendance records are kept to document how many hours a month each employee is absent from work. A customer’s total bill depends on the entree and side dishes ordered and the kind of wine consumed—Super Steak’s wine list is quite limited, with only pinot noir, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, and Merlot being offered. Wine prices are very reasonable, ranging from $15 to $35 a bottle. Beer is also available in three different sizes of pitchers, ranging from smallest to largest: Super Pitcher, Colossal Pitcher, and Titanic Pitcher.
