Answer #1

Here whether or not a student have had sex is the dependent variable and whether or not a student have tried alcohol is independent.

Because sex depends on a person having tried alcohol.

Explanatory variable is another name of independent variable. So the answer is whether or not they have tried alcohol

Response variable is another name of dependent variable. So the answer is whether or not they have ever had sex
