The correct choice is b. The day is the independent variable and the mileage is the dependent variable. In this scenario, the day of the trip is what you control and record, while the cumulative miles traveled varies depending on how far you drive each day. Therefore, the mileage depends on the day's journey, making it the dependent variable.
you take a 10-day trip across the country by car. at the beginning of the trip you zero the odometer and every evening you write down the odometer reading. at the end of the trip, you make a graph of cumulative miles traveled vs. the day the measurement was taken
Which of the following do you think is true?
a. The mileage is the independent variable and the day is the dependent variable.
b. The day is the independent variable and the day is the dependent variable.
c. Neither variable is independent or dependent.
the odometer which measures the number of miles traveled based on the rotation of the car's wheels. This car traveled 91,308 miles.
