HELP PLEASE! DUE BY MIDNIGHT! What is the independent variable and what is the dependent variable? Explain how you know this and what it means. 2. (4 Points) Analyze the scatter plot. Is there a relationship between the two variables? If so, explain what the association is. Describe what it means in the real-world context.

@vrw8 , I already looked there....

The independent variable will always be mentioned in the x coordinate axis, while the dependent variable will be shown in the y coordinate y axis. The independent variable is something you assign, and the dependent variable will be the result of what you assign.

Yea. So I know sessions is independent and the other dependent, I just cant figure out the numbers.... @thushananth01

Linear model A is steeper which means the number of points gained has increased throughout the session, while Linear model B is less steeper and the number of points increased throughout the session is less than that of Linear model A

Umm....?

I see that happening, I just cant identify which numbers would not not qualify

A dependent variable is what you measure in the experiment and what is affected during the experiment. The dependent variable responds to the independent variable. It is called dependent because it "depends" on the independent variable. Independent Variable. Independent Variable: An independent variable is the variable you have control over, what you can choose and manipulate. It is usually what you think will affect the dependent variable.

Ohk I am sorry, and I am probably just getting annoying, but I understand that. I don't understand how the (x,y) will work its way in. What and how are these counting as independent/dependent variable. @vrw8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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.
