What are the variables relevant to this study? Classify them as continuous, discrete, nominal, or ordinal. Ans: d. Basic information of each sampling unit. Like  Name: (Can stay anonymous)  Age: (Type: Scale (Continuous)  Gender: (Categorical - Nominal)  School or College: (Can stay anonymous)   e. Explain how you would select a sample for this study. Explain pros and cons of your method.   Ans: Simple random reasoning because the subjects are all teachers and they are almost on the same page, so we can assume they are like a uniform population.                           Cons: teachers from all locations might not get the chance.
