Question

A basketball player is averaging 28 points per game. Identify the independent and dependent variable.

Answer 1

Independent Variable: Average Score

Dependent Variable: No. of competitive venues

Explanation:

Independent Variable;

• It is a variable that stands alone and isn't changed by the other variables you are trying to measure
• In Mathematical equation
• Y = F (x)
• Where x is the independent Variable.

Dependent Variable;

• It depends on the independent variable.
• When researchers make changes to the independent variable
• In Mathematical equation
• y = f (x)
• Where y is the dependent variable.

So, By the definition we know that the Independent variable is Average score and the Dependent variable is No. of competitive venues.
