The first part of the table below shows the relationship of the average number of days of sunlight a certain type of tree gets per year and the height of the tree. The second part of the table shows the amount of fruit the tree bears.

Sunlight Exposure, Height, and Fruit Yield of a Certain Type of tree.


If two scatter plots are created to compare the two sets of data, which variable would be the independent variable?

A. Number of Days of Sunlight (per year)
B. Height of Tree (in.)
C Amount of Fruit (lb)
D. Type of Fruit Tree

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Number of Days of Sunlight (per year)

Step-by-step explanation:

The independent variable is the variable that causes the dependent variable to change.

In this situation, the number of days of sunlight will cause the height of the tree to change.  Additionally, the number of days of sunlight will cause the amount of fruit on the tree to change.

Answer 2

For two scatter plots to compare the data , Number of days of sunlight (per year) is the independent variable.

What is independent variable?

" Independent variable is the variable that is the cause of change of other given variable. As the name suggest its value does change due to other variable."

According to the question,

As shown in the table,

As the number of days of sunlight varies the height of the trees and amount of the fruit produces varies.

Number of days of sunlight increases height of the trees increases or decreases and amount of the fruit produced increases or decreases.

Number of days of sunlight is the reason to have change in the height of the tree and amount of fruit produced.

Number of days of sunlight (per year) remain constant in both the cases, therefore it is a independent variable.

Hence, Option(A) is the correct answer.
