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. For each of the following classify the variable as explanatory, response, or neither.

a. Whether the student attended a workshop.
b. Number of workshops attended
c. Whether the student passes the course

a. Whether the student attended a workshop.   Neither

b. Number of workshops attended.  Explanatory variable

c. Whether the student passes the course. Response variable

Step-by-step explanation:

In a given experiment, the response variable addresses the core of the question that was asked. In the experiment above, we are trying to determine the passing rate. That is the response variable. The explanatory variable provides an explanation for the response.

The number of workshops attended by the students would provide an explanation of their passing rates.  Whether the student attended a workshop is not a consideration in the experiment, because it is believed that they would attend the workshop.
