Answer to Problem 1.2CYU
Explanatory variable = College debt
Response variable = Stress.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A data set has set has been provided by the National Student Loan Survey on the income of the college graduates, total amount of their debt and the stress taken by them about the debt of college and that data set is being looked by a sociologist.
Explanatory variable is a variable that does not depend on any other variables. On the other hand, response variable which is also known as a dependent variable is dependent on the value of the explanatory or the independent variable.
Here, stress is response variable because it is caused by the college debt and college debt is an explanatory variable because it is independent on any other value or variable.
