Question 3: The best description for the variables used in the survey would depend on the type of questions Sally asked. If she asked questions that can be categorized but not ranked (like "What subject do you teach?"), then the variables are qualitative nominal (Option A). If she asked questions that can be categorized and ranked (like "Rate your need for professional development on a scale of 1-5"), then the variables are qualitative ordinal (Option B). If she asked questions that have numerical answers with consistent intervals (like "How many years have you been teaching?"), then the variables are quantitative interval (Option C). If she asked questions that have numerical answers with a true zero point (like "How many professional development courses have you taken?"), then the variables are quantitative ratio (Option D).

Question 4: The variable "gender" in Sally's survey about leisure activities is a qualitative nominal variable (Option A). This is because gender can be categorized (into male, female, etc.) but not ranked or ordered. It is not a quantitative variable because it does not involve numerical data.
