Question
**Question:** Suppose we wish to use the count of rainy days in each month to predict the total number of car accidents in each month. Here, the count of rainy days is considered as the explanatory variable. - ○ True - ○ False **Explanation:** In this context, the explanatory variable, also known as the independent variable, is the count of rainy days. This means we assume changes in the count of rainy days may cause or explain changes in the number of car accidents, which is our dependent variable. Consider selecting "True" if you agree that the count of rainy days is an explanatory variable in this scenario.
