Question

The NFL Scouting Combine is a week-long showcase that takes place every February, where college football players perform physical and mental tests in front of National Football League coaches, general managers, and scouts. Athletes attend by invitation only and their performance during the combine can affect their draft status and salary, and ultimately their career. Several of the tasks the players compete in are meant to measure their speed – 20yd shuttle, 40yd dash and 60yd shuttle. The ANOVA output on the cover page uses data from the 2014 combine to compare the average time to run the 40yd dash (in seconds) for players of several different positions.
Identify:
1. Response variable(s)
