Question
One plant is given sunlight every day. Another plant of the same type is not given any sunlight. After 3 weeks, the height of each plant is measured. Identify the dependent variable.
- The type of plant
- If a plant receives sunlight or not
- How tall the plants are
- Weeks
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: How tall the plants are
GIVEN-
One plant is given sunlight every day.
Another plant of the same type is not given any sunlight.
Height of both the plants is measured at the end of 3 weeks.
TO FIND-
Dependent variable in the given scenario.
SOLUTION-
In the given scenario, we observe that the height is measured after 3 weeks.
We know that giving sunlight to the plant or not test is a given criteria. i.e. it is the pre condition that is to be fulfilled at the beginning.
However, the height of both the plants will depend on which of them has been given sunlight and which one hasnt.
Hence, height of the plants is the dependent variable in this situation.
FINAL ANSWER-
Option 'c' i.e. 'How tall the plants are' is the correct answer to the given question.
