(NOIR). For this first Pause-Problem, I want you to come up with four dependent variables, one related to each NOIR level. You can use your lab study if you like (but you cannot use any of the examples that I used in this lecture presentation)!
What is your nominal variable?
What is your ordinal variable?
What is your interval variable?
