In a study of the effect of handedness on athletic ability, participants were divided into three groups: right-handed, left-handed, and ambidextrous. athletic ability was measured on a 12-point scale. the dependent variable is:
a. discrete and quantitative. b. qualitative and continous. c. discrete and qualitative. d. discrete and continuous.

Option A) Discrete and quantitative                                                          

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following situation in the question:

In a study of the effect of handedness on athletic ability.

Variable 1: Handedness - right-handed, left-handed, and ambidextrous

Variable 2:  Athletic ability measured on a 12-point scale.

Dependent Variable:

For the given case the athlete ability is the dependent variable that depends on the independent variable of handedness.

Athletic ability is measured on a 12 point scale. thus, it can take numerical values from 0 to 12.

Thus, it is a quantitative variable.

Since theses values are always expressed in whole numbers and not in decimals so they cannot take all the values within an interval.

Thus, it is a discrete variable.

Option A) Discrete and quantitative

they disappear if your absent from to long. i found out that the hard way.
