What can be said about the variables Highest Degree Earned and Subject Taught?

They are both categorical variables, but the scales of measurement are  different.

One is a categorical variable, and one is a numerical variable.

Only one variable is a numerical measurement on a continuous scale.

Neither of these variables can be validated using factual evidence.

What can be said about the variables Teaching Aptitude Score and Virtual Learning?

They are both categorical variables on the ordinal scale.

They are both numerical variables, but the scales of measurement are  different.

Neither of these variables can be validated using factual evidence.

One is a categorical variable, and one is a quantitative variable.

Suppose a researcher wanted to determine if a relationship existed between a teacher’s salary and the highest degree they’ve earned. In order to conduct her test, she needs to use two categorical variables.
What should she do before she begins?

She should convert the Highest Degree Earned variable into two categories,  with 0 representing no postgraduate degree and 1 representing a  postgraduate degree.

She should convert both the Highest Degree Earned and Annual Salary variables into categorical variables.

Nothing, both variables are already categorical.

She should convert the Annual Salary variable into low, average, and high  categories.
