brick-structured buildings. How do we interpret this? Explanatory and Response Variables The three Principles that guide Statistics: 1. Plot the data‚ and then add numerical summaries. 2. Look for overall patterns and deviations from those patterns. 3. When there’s a regular overall pattern‚ use a simpler model to describe it. Two variables you must consider: Response Variable: Measures an outcome of a study. Example: Stroke Rate/Steel Buildings versus Brick Buildings Falling Rate Explanatory Variable:
