Question

Due tomarrow please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Identify the independent and dependent variables in the following statement. The more water flowing into the pool, the greater the water depth is in the pool.
a. The independent variable is the depth of water in the pool, and the dependent variable is the rate that water is flowing into the pool.
b. The independent variable is the rate that water is flowing into the pool, and the dependent variable is the depth of water in the pool.

Answer 1

The independent variable is the rate that water is flowing into the pool, and the dependent variable is the depth of water in the pool.

I believe this would be the case due to the fact that we are not in control of the flow yet the flow impacts the depth. So flow would be independent while the pool depth would be dependent on the rate of flow.
