Hours of television because it is the explanatory variable.
Step-by-step explanation:
For me, I am assuming the more time spent watching television would cause lower reading scores. I imagine this would be a bar graph, the vertical y-axis would be labeled the reading scores and the horizontal x-axis would be the amount of hours spent watching television. This is because when you graph, you move right then up to get to the unit, meaning the hours of television affect the reading scores. hope this helpss
