In the case study above, the Average daily number of new accounts is the reponse variable while the Interest rate is the explanatory variable.
Explanation:
Response variables are factors which are being observed to see how and whether or not they change. They are usually susceptible to "stimuli" or "stimulus".
Explanatory Variables, on the other hand, are the "stimuli" or "stimulus" in the equation. They are the factors in the equation which may or may not affect the response variable. When plotting graphs the former is situated on the Y-Axis and the latter on the X-Axis.
