Explanation:

Detailed explanation-2: -An endogenous variable is a variable in a statistical model that’s changed or determined by its relationship with other variables within the model. In other words, an endogenous variable is synonymous with a dependent variable, meaning it correlates with other factors within the system being studied.

Detailed explanation-3: -Exogenous variables are independent, and endogenous variables are dependent. Therefore, if the variable does not depend on variables within the model, it’s an exogenous variable. If the variable depends on variables within the model, though, it’s endogenous.
