Q. Kenneth, a pastry chef, is designing a cake for a retirement party. The number of tiers on the cake will be based on how many guests are expected to attend the party.\newlinet=t = the number of tiers the cake will have\newlineg=g = the number of guests expected\newlineWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)tt is the independent variable and gg is the dependent variable\newline(B)gg is the independent variable and tt is the dependent variable
  1. Understand Relationship: Understand the relationship between the two variables. The number of tiers on the cake tt is determined by the number of guests expected at the party gg. This means that the number of guests does not change based on the number of tiers; rather, the number of tiers is decided based on the number of guests.
  2. Identify Independent Variable: Identify the independent variable. The independent variable is the one that is not affected by the other variable. In this case, the number of guests gg is chosen or known beforehand, and it does not depend on the number of tiers. Therefore, gg is the independent variable.
  3. Identify Dependent Variable: Identify the dependent variable. The dependent variable is the one that changes in response to the independent variable. Since the number of tiers tt is based on the number of guests gg, tt is the dependent variable.
  4. Choose Correct Answer: Choose the correct answer choice based on the identification of independent and dependent variables. Since gg is the independent variable and tt is the dependent variable, the correct choice is (B) gg is the independent variable and tt is the dependent variable.
