Analyze the relationship between the dependent and independent variables in the table, showing the temperature of liquid in a beaker on a Bunsen burner over time. Which best represents their relationship?
The relationship between the dependent variable (temperature of liquid in a beaker) and the independent variable (time) in the table shows that as time increases, the temperature of the liquid also increases. This indicates a positive correlation between the two variables, where as one variable increases, the other also increases.
This relationship is best represented by a linear relationship, as the rate at which the temperature of the liquid increases over time seems to be relatively constant. A linear regression line could be fitted to the data points to show this relationship more clearly.
