<span>An independent variable is exactly what it sounds like. It is a variable that stands alone and isn't changed by the other variables you are trying to measure. For example, someone's age might be an independent variable. Other factors (such as what they eat, how much they go to school, how much television they watch) aren't going to change a person's age. In fact, when you are looking for some kind of relationship between variables you are trying to see if the independent variable causes some kind of change in the other variables, or dependent variables.
</span><span>Just like an independent variable, a dependent variable is exactly what it sounds like. It is something that depends on other factors. For example, a test score could be a dependent variable because it could change depending on several factors such as how much you studied, how much sleep you got the night before you took the test, or even how hungry you were when you took it. Usually when you are looking for a relationship between two things you are trying to find out what makes the dependent variable change the way it does.

If the sales representative is able to get 20% of the prospective customers to subscribe, the maximum expected number of subscriptions per week is
34. If the sales representative earns $3 per subscription in addition to daily wages, the minimum expected value of the extra income per week is
$94.20.
For the first answer, refer to the attached solution. Add the data each week, then multiply the sum by 20% to find out which has the maximum expected number of subscriptions.
For the second answer, the minimum expected value in week 2 multiplied by $3 to get the minimum expected value of the extra income in that week.
I'll start by expanding everything, and 10^(x) means we move the decimal x places to the right. If we move the decimal to the right but there's no number there, that number is 0.
The populations are as follows (in the order in the graph) -
127,180,000
200,000,000
80,619,000
63,708,000
173,615,000
152,510,000
The first difference is the number of digits. The more, the better. The two that stand out at the bottom are Germany and the UK. Next, we look at the leftmost number. Since 6<8, Germany's population > UK's population. All other countries are greater than Germany. Next, we look at the next smallest amount of digits, which is every other country. We look at the first number, which gives us Japan, Nigeria and Bangladesh. Next, we look at the second number, and since 2<5<7, Japan is smaller than Bangladesh and Nigeria is bigger than Bangladesh. Our current list is as follows:
United Kingdom (UK), Germany, Japan, Bangladesh, Nigeria. Since Brazil
has been proven to be greater than the rest (as it has more digits and 2>1), our list is now
United Kingdom (UK), Germany, Japan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Brazil
