1. Identify the independent variable (x) and the dependent variable (y). Include the units (you can type/write the words degrees Celsius instead of worrying about symbols). Type or write your answer in the blanks below. HINT: Note neither of these variables can be controlled, so this is an observational study, not a designed experiment. Which variable is the one we want to predict? Is the variable we want to predict the independent or the dependent variable? One of the posted Example Videos will help. Independent variable (x): ______________________________________ Dependent variable (y): _______________________________________
