Question

Identify the independent and dependent variable of the following graph. Indicate whether the graph rises, falls, or is constant.

A person's core body temperature (°F) in relation to time of day

a. Independent Variable: time of day, Dependent Variable: temperature Graph falls until morning and then steadily rises throughout the day.


b. Independent Variable: time of day, Dependent Variable: temperature Graph is constant and then rises.

c. Independent Variable: time of day, Dependent Variable: time of day Graph is constant and
then rises.

d. Independent Variable: temperature, Dependent Variable: time of day
Graph falls until morning
and then steadily rises throughout the day.​

Answer 1

d number is the correct answer of the question

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

a. Independent Variable: time of day, Dependent Variable: temperature

The graph falls until morning and then steadily rises throughout the day.

Dependent and independent variables

The graph shows how a person's body temperature changes throughout the day. In this situation, the independent variable is the time of day, which means it's the variable that is controlled or changed. The temperature is the thing that we measure and it is affected by the independent variable.

The chart shows that the temperature goes down in the morning and then goes up throughout the day. This pattern shows a usual daily cycle, where body temperature is lowest in the early morning and goes up as the day goes on.
