Data are collected on the 35 students in a college history course. Which of the following is not a variable for the data set?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking which option does not represent a variable that would be collected from a data set of 35 students in a college history course. This requires an understanding of what constitutes a variable in data collection.

More Information

Variables in a data set are characteristics that can differ from one individual to another. 'Number of students' is a constant value and does not vary among the students.

Tips

Avoid confusing constant values, like the number of subjects, with variables which should exhibit diversity among observations.
