Q. At a fancy dinner party, the number of courses that will be served determines how many forks will be set out by the hostess.\newlinec=c = the number of courses served during dinner\newlinef=f = the number of forks set out by the hostess\newlineWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) cc is the independent variable and ff is the dependent variable\newline(B) ff is the independent variable and cc is the dependent variable
  1. Definition of Variables: In any function or relationship between two variables, the independent variable is the one that is chosen or controlled by the experimenter or in this context, the hostess. The dependent variable is the one that depends on the independent variable. In this scenario, the number of courses cc will determine the number of forks ff that the hostess sets out. Therefore, the number of courses is the variable that is chosen or controlled first, and the number of forks depends on this choice.
  2. Relationship between Variables: Since the number of forks set out by the hostess depends on the number of courses served, we can say that the number of courses is the independent variable and the number of forks is the dependent variable. This is because the hostess decides on the number of courses first, and then based on that decision, she sets out a corresponding number of forks.
