Answer: Her nationality would be considered as dichotomous variable

Step-by-step explanation:

Dichotomous variables are the qualitative variables with only two categories (for example : yes or no , failure or success..... etc.).

The characteristics of Jane are :

  • She is a Canadian citizen.  (Nationality)
  • She is kind. ( Behavior)
  • She is goal-oriented.   (nature)
  • She is knowledgeable in literature.  (Knowledge)
  • She is outgoing . ( Behavior)
  • She is musically inclined.  ( Behavior)

Here, only her nationality can be considered as dichotomous variable since it has two possible outcomes either she is Canadian citizen or not.

Rest of other qualities such as behavior , knowledge , nature may  have more than two possible outcomes .

Hence,  her nationality would be considered as dichotomous variable.
