All of the statements are true. Logistic regression models the relationship between a categorical response variable (with two possible outcomes) and one or more explanatory variables, which can be either categorical or quantitative. It makes use of the odds of success (or the ratio of the probability of success to the probability of failure) to model the relationship. The statistical model is given by a logistic function of the form logit(p) = β0 + β1x1 + β2x2 + ... + βkxk, where p is the probability of success and the β's are the coefficients.
