What type of variable is gender?
Nominal (categorical), and Dependent (it is measured and accounted for, but a researcher cannot manipulate gender).
Can you give you some examples of categorical data?
Race, Sex, Age group, education level, hair color... Good examples but we might elaborate: we may give categories names. Take for example the variable, hair color. We might name each of the categories like this: red, blonde, black, etc. In this case we would have nominal categorical variables. Further we can think or categorical variables as being ordered such as income level: high, medium, low, very low or socioeconomic class: low, middle, high. These are called ordinal categorical variables because they represent levels and are grouped in levels say from high to low. As another example you might group temperature levels (categories) as cold, cool, warm and hot. So you have nominal categorical variables and ordinal categorical variables.
