Question
The graph shows the cost of mailing a package based on its weight. Identify the statement that is true about the situation.
- The dependent variable is the total cost
- The dependent variable is weight
- The independent variable is the total cost
- The independent variable is the cost of a package
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: The dependent variable is the total cost
GIVEN-
X-axis = Weight
Y-axis = Total cost
TO FIND-
True statement from the given options on the basis of the given graph.
SOLUTION-
In the given graph, we observe that Weight is represented on the X-axis and Total cost on the Y-axis.
We know that variable on the X-axis is the independent variable and that on the y-axis is the dependent variable.
Hence, Weight is the independent variable and Total cost is the dependent variable in this situation.
FINAL ANSWER-
Option 'a' i.e. 'The dependent variable is the total cost' is the correct answer to the given question.
