Q. The Sullivan farm sells eggs to local restaurants. The number of hens on the farm varies from month to month. The greater the number of hens on the farm, the more eggs the farm is able to produce in a month.\newlinehh = the number of hens on the farm\newlinegg = the number of eggs produced by the farm in a month\newlineWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) hh is the independent variable and gg is the dependent variable\newline(B) gg is the independent variable and hh is the dependent variable
  1. Identify Variables: In this scenario, we need to identify the cause-and-effect relationship between the two variables. The independent variable is the one that is changed or controlled in a scientific experiment to test the effects on the dependent variable. The dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in a scientific experiment.
  2. Define Independent and Dependent Variables: Since the number of hens on the farm hh is what influences the number of eggs produced gg, we can say that the number of hens is the cause, while the number of eggs produced is the effect. Therefore, the number of hens is the independent variable because it can be changed independently, and the number of eggs produced is the dependent variable because it depends on the number of hens.
