In which scenario can you reverse the dependent and independent variables while keeping the interpretation of the slope meaningful?


As the amount of snowfall increases, the number of shovels sold increases.


As number of hours spent watching TV increases, the amount spent on electricity increases.


As the radius of a circle increases, circumference of the circle increases.


As foot size increases, sock size increases.

Respuesta :

i think the scenario in which you can reverse the dependent and independent variables while keeping interpretation of the slope meaningful is  : C. As the radius of a circle increases, circumference of the circle increases
The other doesn't seems to be making any sense since some of them is not a cause

hope this helps


Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Dependent variables are those variables , in which second event is dependent on the first event.

Independent variables are those variables in which no event is dependent on any other event.

1) As the amount of snowfall increases, the number of shovels sold increases.

It is dependent variables, as the snow increases, shovel is needed more.

2) As number of hours spent watching TV increases, the amount spent on electricity increases.

It is dependent variables, as the number of hours increases would lead to more electricity consumption.

3) As the radius of a circle increases, circumference of the circle increases.

It is the dependent variables, as the radius increases, circumference would also increase.

4) As foot size increases, sock size increases.

It is dependent variables, as size of foot increase, size of socks would also increase.
