Q. While on vacation, Vincent plans to write some postcards to his friends. The number of stamps Vincent has will determine how many postcards Vincent can send.s= the number of stamps Vincent hasp= the number of postcards Vincent can sendWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?Choices:(A) s is the independent variable and p is the dependent variable(B) p is the independent variable and s is the dependent variable
Understand Relationship: Understand the relationship between the variables.In this scenario, the number of postcards Vincent can send is determined by the number of stamps he has. This means that the number of postcards depends on the number of stamps.
Define Variables: Define independent and dependent variables.An independent variable is one that is not affected by other variables, while a dependent variable is one that depends on the independent variable for its value.
Apply Definitions: Apply the definitions to the problem.Since the number of postcards Vincent can send p depends on the number of stamps he has s, s is the independent variable and p is the dependent variable.
