Suppose I want to know if being a man or woman in America predicted a particular outcome, such as whether people got a flu vaccine last year. So I select a random sample of 200 college undergraduates (100 men, 100 women) from around the country and ask them if they received a flu vaccine last year.  Sixty percent of the men in my sample reported getting a flu vaccine last year, whereas 80% of the women said they had received a flu vaccine last year.  Please answer the following questions based on this study.   What is the dependent variable in this study?     What is the independent variable in this study?     How is the independent variable measured (dichotomous, numerical, etc)?
