c) preschool or daycare attendance (yes / no)
d) height (continuous variable measured in inches; ranges from 30 inches to 46 inches)
e) family status (mother or female guardian only/father or male guardian only/both mother or female guardian and father or male guardian)

g) time spent in non-parental care (none / less than 10 hours per week / 11-20 hours per week / 21-30 hours per week / 31+ hours per week)
1. Indicate at least one statistical procedure that can be used with the data
2. Specific variable(s) that could be used with this procedure
3. As appropriate, indicate which variables would be the independent and dependent variables
4. Any challenges you foresee in generating this analysis.
