Q. Norma baked a pan of brownies for a potluck. The number of squares she cuts the brownies into will depend on the number of people attending the potluck.\newlines=s = the number of squares Norma cuts the brownies into\newlinep=p = the number of people attending the potluck\newlineWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) pp is the independent variable and ss is the dependent variable\newline(B) ss is the independent variable and pp is the dependent variable
  1. Identify variable type: Identify whether pp is the independent or the dependent variable. Since the number of people attending the potluck does not depend on how many squares the brownies are cut into, pp is the independent variable.
  2. Identify variable type: Identify whether ss is the independent or the dependent variable. The number of squares Norma cuts the brownies into depends on the number of people attending, so ss is the dependent variable.
  3. Choose correct answer: Choose the correct answer choice based on the identification of independent and dependent variables. Since pp is the independent variable and ss is the dependent variable, the correct choice is (A).
