Nominal (categorical), and Dependent (it is measured and accounted for, but a researcher cannot manipulate gender).
A nominal variable is a type of categorical variable that represents distinct categories without any inherent order or ranking. Examples include gender, nationality, or favorite color, where the values serve to label different groups. Since nominal variables do not have a quantitative value, statistical analysis typically involves counting occurrences or determining proportions within each category.
No, Patient's gender is not a continuous variable. It is discrete variable.
Mean
It is a nominal scale.

Nominal
yes
No. It is a discrete quantitative variable.
yes a gender is a categorical variable
No, Patient's gender is not a continuous variable. It is discrete variable.
Gender is nominal. Nominal is categorical only; no ordering scheme. Ordinal level of measurement places some order on the data, but the differences between the data can't be determined or are meaningless.
A nominal variable is a variable measured in current dollars (the value of the dollar for the specific period discussed), and a real variable is a variable measured in constant dollars (the value of the dollar for the base period). That is, a real variable adjusts for the effects of inflation.
Mean
It is a nominal scale.
