Question
One math class studies for an upcoming test, while another math class does not study for the same test. The test scores of the two classes are compared afterwards. Find the independent variable.
- The test scores
- If a class studies or not
- The type of class
- The type of test
Hint:
In a given equation, the 2 variables viz. x & y can be bifurcated into Independent variable and dependent variable.
The independent variable can be referred to as the cause i.e. Its value is independent (does not change as per the other variables) of other variables. The dependent variable can be referred to as the effect. Its value depends on changes in the independent variable.
Generally, Independent variables are represented on the x-axis i.e. horizontal axis and Dependent variables are represented on the y-axis i.e. verticle axis.
The correct answer is: If a class studies or not
GIVEN-
One class studies for the upcoming test and another does not.
Test scores of the 2 classes are compared afterwards.
TO FIND-
Independent variable in the given scenario.
SOLUTION-
In the given scenario, we observe that the scores are compared after 1 class studies for the test and another doesnt.
We know that studying for the test is a given criteria. i.e. it is the pre condition that is to be fulfilled at the beginning.
However, the scores of both the classes will depend on which of them has been studying for the test and which hasnt.
Hence, If a class studies or not is the independent variable in this situation.
FINAL ANSWER-
Option 'b' i.e. 'If a class studies or not' is the correct answer to the given question.

Match this number line to its correct solution.
Since portion for 2 is hollow i.e. not shaded, 2 is not included in the inequation. i.e. 2 is not a solution to the given inequality.
Hence, we take x < 2 and not x <= 2.
