Q. Larry is assembling prize baskets for a raffle. The number of baskets he puts together depends on how many prizes were donated.b = the number of baskets Larry makesp = the number of prizes donatedWhich 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
Define Variables: In any function or relationship between two variables, the independent variable is the one that is chosen or controlled by the experimenter or in the context of the situation, and the dependent variable is the one that depends on the independent variable. In this context, we need to determine which variable's value is determined by the other.
Identify Relationship: Since Larry is assembling prize baskets based on the number of prizes donated, the number of prizes p will determine how many baskets b he can make. This means that the number of baskets depends on the number of prizes.
Determine Independent and Dependent: Therefore, the number of prizes donated p is the independent variable because it is the input or the cause, and the number of baskets Larry makes b is the dependent variable because it is the effect or the outcome.
