The number of fish a collector has determines the size of the tank that is needed to house them.n= the number of fishs= the size of the fish tank neededWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?Choices:(A) s is the independent variable and n is the dependent variable(B) n is the independent variable and s is the dependent variable
Q. The number of fish a collector has determines the size of the tank that is needed to house them.n= the number of fishs= the size of the fish tank neededWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?Choices:(A) s is the independent variable and n is the dependent variable(B) n is the independent variable and s is the dependent variable
Understand relationship between variables: Step 1: Understand the relationship between the variables.In this scenario, the size of the fish tank s depends on the number of fish n. This means that as the number of fish increases or decreases, the size of the tank needed will also change accordingly.
Identify variables: Step 2: Identify the independent and dependent variables.Since the size of the tank is determined by the number of fish, the number of fish n is the independent variable because it can be chosen or set freely. The size of the tank s is the dependent variable because it depends on the number of fish.
Match correct choice: Step 3: Match the correct choice based on the analysis.From the choices given:(A) s is the independent variable and n is the dependent variable(B) n is the independent variable and s is the dependent variableChoice (B) correctly matches our analysis where n is independent and s is dependent.
