A study was designed to determine the relationship between driving speed and gas consumption for new lightweight sports cars. What are the independent and dependent variables for this study? A. The independent variable is the driving speed, and the dependent variable is the weight of the cars. B. The independent variable is the driving speed, and the dependent variable is the gasoline consumption. C. The independent variable is the gasoline consumption, and the dependent variable is the driving speed. D. The independent variable is the weight of the cars, and the dependent variable is the driving speed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the independent variable is what you control

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the dependent variable is an outcome for the independent variable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since you can control a cars speed, the cars speed is the independent variable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the dependent variable is consumption of fuel

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, it's B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's what i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, i'm in 9th. But, I'm studying subjects taught in college

jigglypuff gave you the answer

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

and time is always independent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'd say D, but if you scroll up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i gave an explanation on independent and dependent variables

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no he just said blood pressure should depend on salt... @faisalalif1999

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the dependent variable depends on the independent variable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the growth of the plant just depends on the fertilizer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, i'll leave it up to you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got a 100% i will say it right
