Wait, are we sure about A? Isn’t sex more complex than just male/female?

D and E are not dichotomous, they have more than two categories.

I feel like "Grade of Breast Cancer" is more categorical with multiple levels, so it wouldn't be dichotomous, right?

I practiced a question like this before, and I think "Pain yes/Pain no" is definitely dichotomous.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think "alive/dead" fits the definition of a dichotomous variable too.

I remember we talked about dichotomous variables being those with two distinct categories. I think sex could be one of them?

Hmm, I'm a little confused on the difference between dichotomous and ordinal variables. I know dichotomous has two categories, but I'm not sure if that applies to all the options here. I'll have to review my notes.

I remember learning about this in class. A dichotomous variable is one that can only take on two values, like yes/no or male/female. So I'm pretty confident the answer is A, sex.

Okay, let me see. Dichotomous means two categories, right? So it's gotta be either A, B, or C since those all have two options. I'm leaning towards B or C, but I'm not totally sure.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know dichotomous variables have only two possible values, but I'm not 100% on the definition. I'll have to think it through carefully.

This is a piece of cake! B) Pain yes/ Pain no is the way to go. Unless, of course, the answer is 'Pain maybe/Pain sometimes'.

Hmm, I'm tempted to say D) Grade of Breast Cancer, but I think B) Pain yes/ Pain no is the safer choice. After all, you can't be 'kinda dead', can you?

True, you can't be 'kinda dead'. So C) alive / dead is the correct choice.

I'm going with B) Pain yes/ Pain no. It's a clear binary choice, just like whether I'm awake or asleep - no in-betweens!
