Q. Jenny manages the Lincoln Orchard, which produces many different types of fruit, including pears. The more pear trees that have been planted in the orchard, the more barrels of pears the orchard will produce.p = the number of pear trees that have been planted in the orchardb = the number of barrels of pears the orchard will produceWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?Choices:(A) b is the independent variable and p is the dependent variable(B) p is the independent variable and b is the dependent variable
Understand relationship between variables: Step 1: Understand the relationship between the variables.In the problem, it states that the more pear trees p that are planted, the more barrels of pears b the orchard will produce. This implies that the number of pear trees influences the number of barrels produced.
Identify variables: Step 2: Identify the independent and dependent variables.Since the number of pear trees planted p affects the number of barrels of pears b, p is the independent variable because it can be set or chosen freely. The number of barrels b depends on how many trees are planted, making b the dependent variable.
