In an agricultural report, lime trees receiving the most water produced the most limes. Identify the dependent and independent variables.(1 point) Responses i= the number of limes produced d= the amount of water i equals the number of limes produced d equals the amount of water i= the number of lime trees d= the amount of water received i equals the number of lime trees d equals the amount of water received i= the amount of water d= the number of limes produced i equals the amount of water d equals the number of limes produced i= lime trees d= the number of limes produced

1 answer

In the context of the agricultural report, the independent variable is the amount of water received, as it is the variable that is being manipulated to observe its effect. The dependent variable is the number of limes produced, as it is the outcome that is being measured in response to the amount of water.

So the correct identification is:

  • Independent variable (i): the amount of water
  • Dependent variable (d): the number of limes produced
