I’m not convinced about HOME being the least important.

DOWN_AMT being the greatest makes sense, it's a big factor.

Wait, why is CASH the least important? That seems off.

Totally agree, MBAL is a key player here.

Looks like MBAL has the greatest importance!

I believe the greatest importance is usually tied to the variable with the highest odds ratio. I think it might be MBAL, but I need to double-check that.

I feel a bit confused about the least important variable. Was it CASH or HOME? I can't quite remember which one we said was less significant.

I think we had a practice question similar to this, and I recall that DOWN_AMT was often highlighted as important. Maybe it's the greatest here too?

I remember that we discussed how to identify the most significant variables in logistic regression, but I'm not sure if it's MBAL or DOWN_AMT that's the greatest.

I'm a bit confused by the output format. I'll need to make sure I understand how to interpret the results before I can confidently answer this question.

Okay, I see the p-values for each variable. I think I can use those to identify the statistically significant ones at the 0.05 level, and then compare the coefficient magnitudes to determine the relative importance.
OL

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully examine the output and think through the significance levels to determine the variables with the greatest and least relative importance.

The key here is to focus on the variables that are statistically significant at the 0.05 level. From there, I can compare the coefficient values to determine which has the greatest and least relative importance.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options seem pretty similar, and I'm not entirely sure which one is the primary objective. I'll have to think it through carefully.

Anyone else feel like they're just playing a game of logistic regression Mad Libs here? Greatest, least, who cares! I'm just gonna put in random variables and see what happens. Shake things up, that's my motto!

I'm with Isidra on this one. Shaking things up is the way to go. But I'm gonna swap it - greatest is HOME, least is DOWN_AMT. Gotta keep 'em guessing!

Ha, this is a tough one! I'm gonna go with option D just to be different. Greatest is DOWN_AMT, least is HOME. Why not, right? Gotta keep the exam folks on their toes!

I'm not sure about this one, but I'll go with option B. Greatest is MBA and least is CASH.
EL

I think option A is the correct one. Greatest is MBA and least is DOWN_AMT.
LI

Yeah, I agree. It's always good to think outside the box when answering questions like this.
BU

I think option D is a good choice. DOWN_AMT seems to have the greatest importance on the model.
XE
Xenia

Hmm, I'm not so sure. The p-values for both MBA and DOWN_AMT seem pretty low, so they could both be significant. I'm leaning towards option B - greatest is MBA, least is CASH.
PA
Patria

I think CASH might have the least importance based on the output.
EL
Eliseo

I agree, MBA does seem to have a significant impact.
SH

I see your point, Daron. It's important to carefully consider the significance of each variable in the model.
JA
Jaime

The output looks pretty straightforward. I think the greatest variable is MBA and the least is DOWN_AMT. Easy choice, option A is the way to go.
HU
Huey

DOWN_AMT being the least significant variable is also evident from the output.
JO
Johnetta

The output does make it clear that MBA has the greatest importance.
BE
Bev

I agree, option A seems to be the correct choice.
DA
Daron

I disagree, I think the answer is C) Greatest: DOWN_AMT, Least: CASH. DOWN_AMT has the greatest relative importance and CASH has the least.
HA
Hailey
