Q. Pamela owns a jewelry shop and sells, among other things, diamond rings. She has a chart that shows how the cost of a diamond corresponds to its size. The bigger the diamond, the greater its cost.\newlines=s = the size of a diamond\newlinec=c = the cost of a diamond\newlineWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) cc is the independent variable and ss is the dependent variable\newline(B) ss is the independent variable and cc is the dependent variable
  1. Analyze Relationship: Analyze the relationship between the size of a diamond and its cost. The size of the diamond does not depend on its cost, but rather the cost increases with the size of the diamond.
  2. Identify Variables: Identify the independent variable. Since the size of the diamond ss is chosen first and the cost cc depends on this size, ss is the independent variable.
  3. Select Answer Choice: Identify the dependent variable. The cost of the diamond cc depends on its size ss, making cc the dependent variable.
  4. Select Answer Choice: Identify the dependent variable. The cost of the diamond cc depends on its size ss, making cc the dependent variable. Select the correct answer choice based on the identification of independent and dependent variables. Since ss is the independent variable and cc is the dependent variable, the correct choice is (B) ss is the independent variable and cc is the dependent variable.
