Q. Xavier is renting buses for a school field trip. The number of buses needed depends on how many students are going on the trip.\newlineb=b = the number of buses needed\newlines=s = the number of students going on the trip\newlineWhich of the variables is independent and which is dependent?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) ss is the independent variable and bb is the dependent variable\newline(B) bb is the independent variable and ss is the dependent variable
  1. Understanding the Variables: Step 11: Understanding the Variables\newlineIn this problem, ss represents the number of students going on the trip, and bb represents the number of buses needed. We need to determine which variable influences the other.
  2. Analyzing the Relationship: Step 22: Analyzing the Relationship\newlineThe number of buses needed ('bb') depends on how many students are going ('ss'). If more students go on the trip, more buses will be needed. This means the number of students (ss) is the independent variable because it can vary freely, and the number of buses (bb) is the dependent variable because it depends on the number of students.
