5 types of non-experimental design
survey, correlational, ex-post facto or causal-comparative, comparative, evaluative

Prediction Studies

these are the measurable quantities & qualities

continuous variables
variables that does not a have a zero value
interval variables

Discrete variables
does not have any order nor quantifiable values
nominal
there are only two possible choices

an order is created for this kind of variable
ordinal
applier of the reaction that will happen
independent
