Report
A wind turbine turns wind energy into electricity using the aerodynamic force from the rotor blades. In 2019, wind power accounted for 5 percent of all electricity generated in the United States. The US Geological Survey compiled a database of over 53,700 wind turbines in the country. Several variables measured for each wind turbine in the database are listed. Determine the type of data (quantitative or qualitative) recorded for each variable. (Note: A project consists of multiple wind turbines that form a single system.) Complete parts a through e. a. Year turbine became operational Choose the correct answer below. () A. The variable is quantitative because the data are numerical values. () B. The variable is qualitative because the data can be classified into multiple non-numerical categories. () C. The variable is qualitative because the data cannot be measured on a naturally occurring numerical scale. () D. The variable is quantitative because the data can be measured on a naturally occurring numerical scale. b. Hub height (measured in meters) Choose the correct answer below. (_) A. The variable is quantitative because the data are numerical values. () B. The variable is qualitative because the data can be classified into multiple non-numerical categories. () C. The variable is qualitative because the data cannot be measured on a naturally occurring numerical scale. () D. The variable is quantitative because the data can be measured on a naturally occurring numerical scale. c. Indicator of whether turbine was partially retrofit Choose the correct answer below. () A. The variable is quantitative because the data can be measured on a naturally occurring numerical scale. () B. The variable is qualitative because the data can be classified into multiple non-numerical categories. () C. The variable is quantitative because the data are numerical values. () D. The variable is qualitative because the data cannot be measured on a naturally occurring numerical scale. d. Location (state/county) Choose the correct answer below. () A. The variable is qualitative because the data can be classified into multiple non-numerical categories. () B. The variable is quantitative because the data can be measured on a naturally occurring numerical scale. v
