Question

which of the following variables are typically plotted on the y - axis of a scatter plot?
a. dependent variable
b. control variable
c. independent variable
d. main variable

Explanation:

In a scatter plot, the dependent variable (the variable being measured or affected) is typically plotted on the y - axis. The independent variable (the variable that is manipulated or changed) is on the x - axis. A control variable is held constant and not directly plotted on axes in the context of a basic scatter plot for showing the relationship between two main variables. There is no standard "main variable" concept in the context of scatter - plot axis assignment like the dependent and independent variable concepts.

Answer:

A. Dependent variable
