This is a qualitative variable because it describes a characteristic or quality (opinion) rather than a numerical measurement.## Step 2The sample consists of the 2500 individuals who will be surveyed. They are selected using random-digit telephone dialing and will provide the data for the poll.## Step 3The inference of interest to the pollster is to estimate the proportion of all citizens who believe the president is doing a good job.
