Answer 1

We have two things:
We're measuring the cholesterol levels

of people on DIFFERENT diets

Think about this experiment. We have people on one diet and other people on a second diet. We're measuring their cholesterol levels over time to compare how the diet affects their cholesterol level.

The independent variable is something that is independent. You can change the independent variable and see the effects of what you're measuring (aka the dependent variable)

So for example, if we're measuring the heights of plants that are given just water or they're given water and sunlight

the height is the dependent variable
the water + water with sunlight are your independent variable

Answer 2

You're measuring the cholesterol levels

of people on different diets

Each light blue and dark blue bundle is one diet
The light blue is their cholesterol levels before they started the diet
The dark blue is their cholesterol levels after they started the diet


Is the cholesterol level the dependent or independent variable?
If you change their diet, will that have an impact on their cholesterol level?
Or is it the other way around? Changing their cholesterol levels will impact their diet.

So what does that make the diet? The dependent or independent variable?

Answer 3

Dependent?

Answer 4

what question are you responding to?

Answer 5

the last one
and for the first one Is independent

Answer 6

Are you sure?

If the diet is the dependent variable

that means by changing their cholesterol levels, you're impacting the diet

is the diet dependent on the cholesterol level?

or is the cholesterol level dependent on the diet?

Answer 7

Hold on let me re read

Answer 8

Let's first locate the independent variables. That would be the time and the count of people, as the count or time taken would not change between each recording. That has C and D remaining, does variable D change if you modify C? Does the same happen to C if you modify D?

Answer 9
