At a used car dealership, the first determinant in the price of the car is the model, followed by the mileage and the age of the car. Which of the following is the dependent variable?

A. price
B. model
C. mileage
D. age

I think its B because the model determines the price of the car

no, the price depends on the other factors.

All of the others are independent, since they can vary on their own.

To determine the dependent variable in this scenario, we need to identify the variable that is being influenced or determined by the other variables.

In this case, the price of the car is dependent on the model, mileage, and age of the car. The price is influenced by these factors, and therefore, the dependent variable is A. price.

You are correct! The dependent variable is the variable that is influenced or determined by the other variables in the situation. In this case, the price of the car is dependent on the model, mileage, and age. The model, on the other hand, is an independent variable because it determines the price. So, the answer is A. price. The price of the car is dependent on the model, mileage, and age.
