Answer 1

A. Predict a dichotomous variable from continuous or dichotomous variables.

Explanation:

Logistic regression is used when you want to predict a dichotomous variable from continuous or dichotomous variables.

Mathematically, it is given by the expression;

Logistic regression
`y` with
`x_(1)`,
`x_(2)`........
`x_(n)`

Where;

y represents the dichotomous dependent variable.

`x_(1)`,
`x_(2)`........
`x_(n)` represents the predictable variables, which are categorical in nature such as alive or dead, win or lose, sick or healthy, pass or fail, etc.
