Nominal (categorical), and Dependent (it is measured and accounted for, but a researcher cannot manipulate gender).
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. We like to put things into categories. We have classrooms, offices, addresses, etc. We have grade levels in school. What type of categorical variables is "grade"? I graduated from the 3rd grade but my father graduated from the sixth grade. Who has the highest level of education? Why do we categorize things in the world? We group things so we can make sense of the diversity around us. We catgorize animals into species; we even name people when they are born. Is a person's name a variable? Sure is! It's nominal variable. Why is a person's name a variable? Because name changes or varies from person to person. What about the number of people in a classroom. Is that a categorical variable?name of the school
Nominal numbers are always discrete.An example would be personality types. You can't have a half or a fourth of a defined personality.
categorical
Your nationality, city that you live in, model of your car(s), colour of your eyes.
Age is acontinuousvariable because it can bemeasured with numbers. A categorical variable deals with nominal variables example male or female, political view, etc
It depends on how the variable is used. At its simplest, it would be a nominal or categorical value but, if used as part of a time series, it would be an ordinal 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.
Nominal (categorical), and Dependent (it is measured and accounted for, but a researcher cannot manipulate gender).
Examples of nominal accounts are losses and expenses of gains or income.

Categorical variables are variables that represent categories or groups. They are qualitative in nature and can take on values that are in a finite set of distinct categories, but do not have a inherent order or numerical significance. Examples include color (red, blue, green) or gender (male, female).
A nominal number names something-a telephone number, a player on a team. Nominal numbers do not show quantity or rank. They are used only to identify something.Here are some examples using nominal numbers:jersey number 4zip code 02116
Nominal numbers are always discrete.An example would be personality types. You can't have a half or a fourth of a defined personality.

Nominal
A post-nominal is the short form of qualification after your name. An example might be PhD or CPA. In the US they often begin with the letter "C" meaning certified.
