Math workshops and final exams: The college tutoring center staff are considering whether the center should increase the number
of math workshops they offer to help students improve their performance in math classes. Faculty would like to know if requiring student attendance at these math workshops will improve overall passing rates for their students in their math classes. They plan to use the number of workshops attended to predict the final exam score and regression analysis to determine the effectiveness of the mandatory workshop attendance policy. Which is the response variable
The response variable is the variable of interest. It is what is being tested for given the predictor variables. The response variable is also called the dependent variable and from our question we want to predict final exam scores would improve if attendance is made mandatory or as the question says, required. The number of times attended is the independent variable while final exam score is the response variable.
