- Which model is used when you have a categorical response variable?
- Which model is used if the relationship between a quantitative response and a quantitative explanatory should be compared across multiple groups?
- Which model is used to predict exam score from how much time a student studied for the exam?
- Which model is used to determine if the mean exam score differed among students from different grade levels (FR, SO, JR, SR)?
