Question

One way colleges measure success is by graduation rates. A committee was wondering what factors might have an effect on graduation rates at small colleges or universities (enrollments under 5000). The committee randomly selected 22 colleges or universities in the United States with enrollments under 5000 students. They collected information on the 6-year graduation rate, the median SAT score of students accepted to the college, student-related expenses per full-time student, and whether the college had both males and females or just one sex. The data are in the graduation data set available on Canvas. The variable names and descriptions are given below. 1. college name of college 2. rate: 6-year graduation rate 3. SAT: median SAT score of students accepted to the college 4. expenses: student-related expense per full-time student (dollars) 5. students: O if college has both males and females 1 if college has only males or only females 1) (1 point) What is the response variable and what are the explanatory variables?
