A golfer wants to determine if the type of driver she uses each year can be used to predict the amount of improvement in her game. Which variable would be the explanatory variable?a. The type of driverb. The number of holes she playsc. The rating of the golferd. The improvement in her game

The type of driver

Step-by-step explanation:

The term known as '' response variable'' is use in describing a variable that changes when you alter an examination or a test. Just like its name implies, it is the ''response'' that one gets when the other variable that is the Explanatory Variable are being altered.

In this question, the golfer will have to be changing the type of drivers that she is using in order to be able to know whether these changes in drivers will increase her game performance. Hence, the Explanatory Variable is the type of driver in which the golfer changes which is being use to define the performance of the golfer.

step-by-step explanation:

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%

step-by-step explanation:

under the capital asset pricing model (capm), the required or expected rate of return for a particular security or asset is given using the formula:

required rate of return = risk-free rate + beta*(market risk premium)

we are given that;

risk-free rate = 4% = 0.04

beta = 1.4

market risk premium = 9% = 0.09

we simply plug these values into the above formula;

required rate of return = 0.04 + 1.4*(0.09)

required rate of return = 0.04 + 0.126

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%
