There are five seasons of the television show Breaking Bad. Suppose you had data on the fans of the show and each of these fan has seen the entirety of all seasons. Some of the data you have is on which season each fan said was their favorite (e.g. Andrea's favorite season was 3, Bianca's favorite season was 5, etc.) If you were going to analyze data (perhaps in a regression) using this favorite season information, how would you do it? 1 Use a single dummy variable for which season was their favorite. 2 Use a single variable with the favor season number indicated, but adjust for population. 3 Use a single variable with the favorite season number (1, 2, 3, etc.) indicated. 4 Use a series of five dummy variables, one for each season. 5 Use a series of four dummy variables, one for each season, excluding one of the seasons.
