first go to my original question which has the data table with my name, anon, and the school subject as science!
tanks.
okay so i have a question and most likely will be posting more questions regarding of constructing a graph.
my question is, x axis is where you put the independent variable and y axis is where you put the dependent variable, correct ? so, if my dependent variable is the growth of the spanish needle plants (in cm) then that would be on the y axis and my independent are the lights being used to grow the spanish needle seeds would be on the x axis right ?
oops i asked 2 questions my bad
tank you very much tutors for checking out my questions !
Agree
To answer your first question, the table you mentioned with your name, "anon," and the school subject as science is not available directly within the conversation. Please provide the table or any specific data you would like to discuss, and I'll be happy to help you with it.
Now, moving on to your second question about constructing a graph. Yes, you are correct in understanding the placement of variables on the x-axis and y-axis. The independent variable, which is the variable that is controlled or manipulated, is typically represented on the x-axis. In your case, if you are studying the growth of Spanish needle plants in relation to different lights being used, then the independent variable would be the lights. Therefore, it would be appropriate to place the different types of lights on the x-axis.
On the other hand, the dependent variable, which is the variable that changes in response to the independent variable, is typically represented on the y-axis. In your case, the growth of the Spanish needle plants in centimeters would be the dependent variable, and you would plot the values of plant growth on the y-axis.
Remember, this is just a general guideline, and depending on the specific context and nature of your data, the placement of variables on the axes may vary.
