In a scatterplot, the x-axis typically represents the independent variable (input), while the y-axis represents the dependent variable (output).
In the scatterplot described:
- The x-axis represents **Courses Completed** (independent variable).
- The y-axis represents **Credits Needed to Graduate** (dependent variable).
Based on this interpretation, the correct statements are:
- **The input, or independent variable, is courses completed.**
- **The output, or dependent variable, is credits needed to graduate.**
Therefore, the correct statement from your options is: **The input, or independent variable, is courses completed.**
