Caroline knows that the more educational workshops she hosts at the giraffe exhibit, the more donations people make to the giraffes, which helps fund their care. However, she's worried because when the female giraffe gives birth, they'll have to stop doing the educational workshops for a few weeks to let the baby giraffe acclimate.

Question

Last week, Caroline held 12 educational workshops and the giraffes received $1,643 of donations. This week, she held 9 educational workshops and the giraffes received $1,364 of donations.
In #1, what are the two variables? Which one is independent and which one is dependent?

The age of the baby giraffe is the independent variable, and the number of educational workshops is the dependent variable.

The amount of money donated is the independent variable, and the number of educational workshops is the dependent variable.

The number of educational workshops is the independent variable, and the amount of money donated is the dependent variable.

The amount of donations is the independent variable, and the number of giraffes is the dependent variable.

Answer 1

In this scenario, the two variables are:

1. The number of educational workshops hosted (independent variable)
2. The amount of money donated to the giraffes (dependent variable)

The correct statement is:

The number of educational workshops is the independent variable, and the amount of money donated is the dependent variable.
