situation
What is a dependent variable and what axis does it reside on? ✔Correct Answer--A variable whose
expected value depends on the value of another variable; resides on the x axis
What is an independent variable and what axis does it reside on? ✔Correct Answer--A variable
whose expected value remains independent of the values of other variables; resides on the y axis
What is frequency? ✔Correct Answer--The number of times that a value within a range has been
