Super misleading and unclear question!! Which is true about the response variable? i. This used to be called the independent variable. ii. When graphing the data, the response variable is plotted allong the x-axis A. only i B. only ii C. both i and ii D. neither i or ii

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

I have no idea because Its very confusing to me!

What is the response variable also called?

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

dependent variable

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Correct ^^ so would it be i ?

563blackghost (563blackghost):

In mathematics, the "x" and "y" values in an equation or a graph are referred to as "variables." If an equation shows a relationship between x and y in which the value of y is dependent upon the value of x, y is known as the dependent variable and is sometimes referred to as ‘function(x)’ or f(x). The final solution of the equation, y, depends on the value of x, the independent variable which can be changed. cited - http://examples.yourdictionary.com/independent-and-dependent-variable-examples.html#ZXq9BIYxylIPIfkM.99

Based on these facts would ii be true or false?

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

im sorry i just fell asleep at my keyboard lol but i tinhk the answer is B

563blackghost (563blackghost):

:P thats alright ^^.... But that would be incorrect...becuase the post above about graphing states that the value of y is dependent upon the value of x...so ii would be false...

OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):

ok then it would be neither

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Thats what I would choose ^^ so yea xD
