Q. Sebastian, a pastry chef, is designing a cake for a retirement party. The number of guests expected will determine how many tiers the cake will have.g = the number of guests expectedt = the number of tiers the cake will haveWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?Choices:(A) g is the independent variable and t is the dependent variable(B) t is the independent variable and g is the dependent variable
Identify Relationship: Identify the relationship between the variables: The number of guests g will determine how many tiers t the cake will have. This implies that the number of tiers depends on the number of guests.
Define Variables: Define the variables: Since the number of tiers depends on the number of guests, g is the independent variable because it can vary freely. t is the dependent variable because its value depends on the number of guests.
Choose Correct Option: Choose the correct option based on the definitions: Since g is independent and t is dependent, the correct choice is (A) g is the independent variable and t is the dependent variable.
