OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

did the weight of the cows depend on how much framer feed them? or did the amount the farmer feed them depend on the weight of the cows?

OpenStudy (lilshane):

The first one

OpenStudy (lilshane):

?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

so the weight of the cows is dependent on (the other variable)

OpenStudy (rational):

I'm pretty sure weight is the dependent variable here but just wondering... if the cow is obese, i think the farmer might reduce the feeding... then feeding depends on the weight of cow... so it is a bit ambiguous if you think too much..

OpenStudy (lilshane):

So the answer is A?

OpenStudy (lilshane):

Thank you!

OpenStudy (rational):

hey no, weight is dependent variable here right ?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

wait aminute

OpenStudy (lilshane):

...

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

the weight is dependent

OpenStudy (lilshane):

So its B?

OpenStudy (rational):

yes B looks more correct
