Correct answer: (C) Variables — Measurable attributes of objects and events are called variables, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Measurable attributes of objects and events are called variables, so that is the answer.
★A variable is any characteristic that can take on different values or categories.
★So an attribute that can be measured and can vary from case to case is a variable.
★Data are the actual values gathered, not the attribute itself.
★A qualitative measure is one kind of measurement, not the general term for such attributes.
★A constant does not vary at all, so measurable, varying attributes are called variables.
