Question

regression analysis is a method for building a statistical model that defines a relationship between a single select variable and one or more select variables, all of select erical. (dropdown options: independent, randomized, dependent, minimized)

Explanation:

In regression analysis, we have a dependent variable (the one we want to predict or explain) and one or more independent variables (the predictors). The first blank is for the dependent variable (as we model the relationship of this single variable with others), the second for independent variables (the ones used to explain the dependent variable), and the third likely relates to the nature of variables (but focusing on the first two blanks here). So the first select should be "dependent" and the second "independent".

Answer:

First Select: dependent
Second Select: independent
