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 amount of water
d=
the number of limes produced
i equals the amount of water d equals the number of limes produced

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=
lime trees
d=
the number of limes produced

In the context of the agricultural report, the independent and dependent variables are identified as follows:

  • Independent variable (d): the amount of water (since it is the factor being manipulated or changed)
  • Dependent variable (i): the number of limes produced (since it is the outcome that is measured in response to the amount of water received)

Therefore, the correct response is:

i = the number of limes produced
d = the amount of water
i equals the number of limes produced d equals the amount of water
