A visitor guide for a downtown area lists many restaurants. Which of the following is an example of a quantitative variable the guide could report for each restaurant? A. the zip code of the restaurant B. the number of seats in the restaurant C. the type of cuisine the restaurant offers D. a restaurant critic’s letter grade (A–F)

The correct answer is B. The number of seats in the restaurant

Explanation:

The number of seats is a quantitative variable because this is expressed using numbers and can be understood through numbers.  For example, the average of seats in the restaurants in the area can be calculated by finding the total of seats and dividing the number into the number of restaurants.

On the other hand, the type of cuisine and the restaurant critic's letter grade do not involve numbers but qualities, which make them qualitative variables. Also, even if zip codes are expressed using numbers these cannot be understood through them, for example, you cannot add two zip codes.
