Question

1. the score on a ten question quiz is computed by multiplying the number of correct answers by ten. what is the dependent variable in this situation?

a. the number of correct answers
b. the score on the quiz
c. the point value of each question

Explanation:

To determine the dependent variable, we recall that a dependent variable depends on another variable (the independent variable). Here, the score is calculated as \( \text{score} = 10\times\text{number of correct answers} \). So the score depends on the number of correct answers. The number of correct answers is independent (we can choose or it varies), the point value per question is a constant (10), and the score changes based on the number of correct answers.

Answer:

B. the score on the quiz
