Type of class | E attribute independent variable |
Grade | D active independent variable |
Location | C extraneous Variable |
Amount of smoking | B dependent variable |
High school students | F study population |
Female | A constant |
Since regression is run between amount of smoking
Two independent variable :
1) grade - which can be maniuplated
2) type of class - which is an attribute and hence cannot be manipulated by researcher
extraneous variables are those which are not directly included in regression but do affect the regression results, and should be controlled for
since regression is run on the data of girls of high school students, hence it comprises our study population
