Explanatory Variable
Explanatory Variable
The explanatory variable is the one that is being manipulated or changed to see its effect on the response variable.
Response Variable
Response Variable
The response variable is the outcome or result that is being measured.
Strong Association
Strong Association
A strong association means that the segments in each bar of a graph are different, indicating a clear relationship between the variables.
