True
False

Correct Answer

True

Explanation

That is true.

For example, the possible values for the grade variable are A, B, C, D, and F. When computing grade point averages, many colleges and universities translate these letter grades into numbers using A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, and F = 0. The transformed variable with numeric values is considered to be quantitative because we can average the numerical values across different courses to obtain a grade point average.
