A scatter plot was created from the data shown.

Which describes the variables in the scatter plot created from the data?



A.
The independent variable is calories and is graphed along the horizontal axis.

B.
The independent variable is calories and is graphed along the vertical axis.

C.
The independent variable is time and is graphed along the horizontal axis.

D.
The independent variable is time and is graphed along the vertical axis.

Answer 2

I don't see the graph, but from the answers I gather than the variables are time and calories. Is time dependent on calories, or is calories dependent on time?

Answer 11

Ok, so, do you think that time is affected by the amount of calories?

Answer 12

no

Answer 13

Cool, so that means that time is the independent variable (since it is not dependent)

Answer 14

So, that narrows the choices down.

Answer 15

Does the independent variable go on the vertical or horizontal axis?

Answer 16

Answer 31

so what do i anser

Answer 32

This site is not to give you answers, but to help you learn to find the answer.

Answer 33

So, since time is not dependent on calories, that means it is independent variable. Does that step make sense?

Variable is the term for a letter in a math problem.

In this problem, time and calories are the variables.

Answer 51

Yep, time is one of the variables.

Answer 52

The other is calories.

Answer 53

Answer 54

Yes, the independent variable is always graphed on the horizontal axis. So, I get C as well.

A study was designed to determine how test scores on a 20-question test were related to the time spent studying for the test.

What are the independent and dependent variables for this study?

A.
The independent variable is time spent studying, and the dependent variable is the number of questions on the test.

B.
The independent variable is the score on the test, and the dependent variable is the number of questions on the test.

C.
The independent variable is time spent studying, and the dependent variable is the score on the test.

D.
The independent variable is the score on the test, and the dependent variable is time spent studying.

Answer 60

Ok, what do you think the variables are in this problem?

Answer 61

Answer 62

That is one of the variables. :-) What do you think the other one is?

Answer 64

sorry the questions

Answer 65

The other options given are time spent studying and number of questions on the test.

Answer 66

No, the problem states that the test has 20 questions. So, that doesn't change.

Answer 67

is it b

Answer 68

No, the number of questions on the test is not a variable. Because it doesn't change.

Answer 69

ok can u explane

Answer 70

The variables are the score on the test (which is what you mentioned before), and the amount of time spent studying.

Answer 71

Does that make sense so far?

Answer 72

yes

Answer 73

Ok, cool. So, which one do you think is dependent on the other?

Answer 74

so do i pick an answe choice

Answer 75

You can use them to help you if you like. What letters are we down to?

Answer 76

a and c

Answer 77

Hm, a and b don't have the correct variables. So, I think we are down to c and d.

Answer 78

Because a and b have the number of questions as a variable, which doesn't change.

Answer 79

Do you think the amount of time studying depends on the score?

Answer 80

Or the score depends on the amount of time studying?

Answer 81

i know it is d

Answer 82

Sweet :-)

Answer 83

so i am riight

Answer 84

Answer 85

Yep, the score depends on the amount of time studying.
