Q. In hockey, the number of goals a team has scored determines that team's score.g= the number of goals a team has scoreds= the team's scoreWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?Choices:(A)s is the independent variable and g is the dependent variable(B)g is the independent variable and s is the dependent variable
Understand relationship: Step 1: Understand the relationship between the variables.In hockey, the score of a team s is directly determined by the number of goals g they score. This means that the score depends on the goals.
Identify variables: Step 2: Identify the independent and dependent variables.Since the score s depends on the number of goals g, g is the independent variable because it can change independently. The score s is the dependent variable because it changes in response to the number of goals scored.
Match choices: Step 3: Match the understanding with the given choices.Based on the analysis, g is the independent variable and s is the dependent variable, which corresponds to choice (B).
