Q. Janelle is hosting a pizza party for her basketball team. The more team members who attend the party, the more pizzas she will need to order.t= the number of team members who attend the pizza partyp= the number of pizzas Janelle will need to orderWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?Choices:(A)t is the independent variable and p is the dependent variable(B)p is the independent variable and t is the dependent variable
Analyze relationship: Analyze the relationship between t and p. The number of pizzas needed (p) depends on how many team members (t) attend the party.
Identify variables: Identify the independent variable. Since the number of team members attending does not depend on the number of pizzas ordered, t is the independent variable.
Select answer choice: Identify the dependent variable. The number of pizzas needed increases with more team members attending, so p depends on t, making p the dependent variable.
Select answer choice: Identify the dependent variable. The number of pizzas needed increases with more team members attending, so p depends on t, making p the dependent variable. Select the correct answer choice based on the identification of independent and dependent variables. Since t is independent and p is dependent, the correct choice is (A) t is the independent variable and p is the dependent variable.
