Question

junelle is formulating an investigative question. she has identified the independent variable as the hours of sunlight a plant receives, and the dependent variable as plant growth. which investigative question would lead to the collection of data that can be represented by a scatterplot? how tall did the plant grow? how many hours of sunlight did the plant receive? how do the hours of sunlight a plant receives affect its growth? how does a plants growth affect the hours of sunlight a plant receives?

Explanation:

A scatterplot shows the relationship between two variables. The first two options only ask about one variable each. The fourth option has the relationship reversed (growth affecting sunlight, but sunlight is the independent variable). The third option asks about the relationship between hours of sunlight (independent variable) and plant growth (dependent variable), which can be represented by a scatterplot.

Answer:

How do the hours of sunlight a plant receives affect its growth?
