Question

model 3 - more examples of graphs graph d chocolate candy colors average number of candies in bag blue brown green orange red yellow graph e leg length vs. sprint time sprint time (sec) leg length (cm) 11. identify the independent variable and dependent variable for each of the graphs in model 3. graph d graph e independent variable color of the candy leg length dependent variable average number sprint time 12. match the experimental questions below to the appropriate graph from model 3. a. \is the number of candies in a bag of chocolates dependent on the color of the candy?\ graph bar - graph b. \does the length of a persons leg affect the time it takes them to sprint 60 yards?\ graph scatter - plot 13. why was the data for graph d plotted in a bar graph? its appropriate because bar graphs are used for data. 14. using the graphs in model 2 and model 3 as examples of proper graphs, identify the axis (x or y) where you would usually plot the independent variable.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall variable - plotting convention

In a graph, the independent variable is usually plotted on the x - axis and the dependent variable on the y - axis.

Step2: Analyze Graph D

For Graph D (Chocolate Candy Colors), the independent variable is the color of the candy and the dependent variable is the average number of candies in a bag. The independent variable (color) would be plotted on the x - axis.

Step3: Analyze Graph E

For Graph E (Leg Length vs. Sprint Time), the independent variable is leg length and the dependent variable is sprint time. The independent variable (leg length) would be plotted on the x - axis.

Answer:

The independent variable is usually plotted on the x - axis.
