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.s= the number of squares Norma cuts the brownies intop= the number of people attending the potluckWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?Choices:(A) p is the independent variable and s is the dependent variable(B) s is the independent variable and p is the dependent variable
Identify variable type: Identify whether p 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, p is the independent variable.
Identify variable type: Identify whether s is the independent or the dependent variable. The number of squares Norma cuts the brownies into depends on the number of people attending, so s is the dependent variable.
Choose correct answer: Choose the correct answer choice based on the identification of independent and dependent variables. Since p is the independent variable and s is the dependent variable, the correct choice is (A).
