Understanding Variables: Step 1: Understanding the VariablesIn the problem, ' extit{c}' represents the amount of coffee needed, and ' extit{p}' represents the number of patrons. We need to determine which variable influences the other. Since the amount of coffee brewed depends on how many patrons are there, ' extit{p}' is the variable that determines ' extit{c}'.
Identifying Variables: Step 2: Identifying Independent and Dependent VariablesThe independent variable is the one that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable. Here, ' extit{p}' (the number of patrons) is the variable that we can change, and it affects ' extit{c}' (the amount of coffee needed). Therefore, ' extit{p}' is independent, and ' extit{c}' is dependent.
