To determine what students at a school would be willing to do to address global warming, researchers take a random sample of 100 students. the students answer the questions, "how high of a tax would you be willing to add to gasoline (per gallon) in order to encourage drivers to drive less or to drive more fuel-efficient cars? " and, "do you believe (yes or no) that global warming is a serious issue that requires immediate action?

(a) identify the response variable and the explanatory variable. what is the response variable?
