The Admission director for a college far from mart and town believes that an inverse relationship exists between a private college's average discount rate(determined by the average amount of scholarships students receive) and the annual yield (the percentage of admitted students who actually attend). The Director's independent variable is a private college's discount rate measured as a percentage, and the dependent variable is the college's annual yield measured as a percentage.
