I am hoping someone can help me here. I have to use Rstudio for this but I am unsure which is the predictor and which is the outcome variable. A predictor is used to predict an outcome variable. I do not want to have it backwards as it will give me the wrong data. See below.

Run a regression model in R to evaluate whether the percent of sensitive data breached (per_sensitive) have an impact on how long organizations experience a negative financial impact from a data breach (dys_impact).

• per_sensitive: percent of sensitive data breached
• dys_impact: the length of the negative financial impact from the data breach
