Q. At a local school, students who skip classes receive detention. They spend more time in detention if they cut more classes.t= the amount of time spent in detentionc= the number of classes cutWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?Choices:(A) t is the independent variable and c is the dependent variable(B) c is the independent variable and t is the dependent variable
Identify Relationship: Identify the relationship between the variables: The amount of time spent in detention t depends on the number of classes cut c. This means that as c changes, t changes accordingly.
Define Variables: Define the variables: Since t changes based on c, t is the dependent variable because its value depends on how many classes are cut. Conversely, c is the independent variable because it can vary freely, and t depends on it.
Match Correct Choice: Match the correct choice: Based on the definitions, the correct choice is (B) where c is the independent variable and t is the dependent variable.
