Question

Answer 1

Well what’s the thing that they can’t control? What’s the thing they CAN control? I think the independent is something they can control!

Answer 2

Independent variable will be the amount Bob and Jackie studies

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the amount a person studies varies the test score. So, here the input is the amount they study and the output is the test score. A function represents the relationship between the input and output. In function the input is the independent variable and the output is the dependent variable.

So, the test score will depend on the amount they study hence the independent variable will be the amount they study.
