Question

identify the independent and dependent variables of these data sets: 1) number of girls who play hockey each year; 2) shoe size according to height; 3) calories burned for each lap run. calories burned number of girls shoe size laps year height

Explanation:

• Independent Variable: A variable that is manipulated or changed to observe its effect on another variable. It is the cause.
• Dependent Variable: A variable that is measured and affected by the independent variable. It is the effect.

1. For "Number of girls who play hockey each year":

• The year changes independently, and the number of girls depends on the year.

1. For "Shoe size according to height":

• Height is the independent factor as it varies on its own, and shoe size depends on height.

1. For "Calories burned for each lap run":

• The number of laps (laps) is the independent variable (you can choose how many laps to run), and calories burned depend on the number of laps.

Answer:

• Independent: year, height, laps
• Dependent: number of girls, shoe size, calories burned
