1. Open the dataset  (attached) that will be used      for the Session Long Project for this course. The variables are labeled      across the top, one per column. There are 300 people in this dataset, with      each row representing an individual’s data. 

– Label the types of variables in the project study and describe, in words, the possible values of each category. 

– List and describe the types of data that may be collected in a study, including binary, categorical, nominal, ordinal, and continuous variables. (For instance, “gender” is binary and possible values include “male” versus “female.”)  Do this for all of the variables in the study.

1. Using      the provided dataset, calculate the appropriate descriptive statistics for      each of the variables in the dataset. 

– Include a 2- to 3-page explanation of the descriptive statistics, including tables of the summarized data, similar to a “Results” section in a published manuscript or journal article.
