Words such as "proportional to" "increases as" "decreases as", usually give an indication of a linear relation. If there are words like "Square" "power" "inversely proportional" then most likely not linear.

When a question asks you to state the relationship between the variables what does that mean?

When a question asks you to state the relationship between variables, it is requesting you to describe how the variables are related to each other. This could include whether they have a positive or negative correlation, whether one variable causes a change in the other, or if there is no relationship between the variables.


How can you decide whether a relationship is linear by studying the pattern in a graph?

The graph must be a straight line, and it must pass through the origin.


When interested in examining how one variable changes in relation to another?

You can use correlation analysis to quantify the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables. This can help determine if there is a linear relationship, and whether changes in one variable can predict changes in the other. Additionally, regression analysis can be used to model and predict the value of one variable based on the value of another variable.


What is an independent variable and example?

Independent variables are values that can be changed in a given model or equation. They provide the "input" which is modified by the model to change the "output."A scientist studies how many days people can eat soup until they get sick. The independent variable is the number of days of consuming soup. The dependent variable is the onset of illness.The independent variable is what causes the results.


What is the independent variable Two hundred children are involved in the study one hundred will consume a multivitamin daily and the other one hundred will not?

The independent variable is whether they take the multivitamin or not. The dependent variable is how it affects their health, or whatever you are researching.The independent variable is whether they take the multivitamin or not.

Third variable problem?

the third variable problem is when an unintentional third variable influences two separate variables that are being measured. this causes a random and coincidental relationship between the two variables. An example would be as ice cream consumption goes up the number of drownings also goes up. the unintentional third variable in this case would be the heat.


What do results tell you with regard to whether the data is normally distributed?

Your question may be a little overly complex. Usually you start with some degree of confidence that the variable(s) you are studying are normally distributed; you don't do an experiment and wait for the results to tell you. Your confidence that a variable is normally distributed helps you to determine whether or not your results are significantly different from what you would expect by chance. If I have missed the meaning of your question, my apologies.


What is a variable called that is used to indicate whether or not a certain action has taken place?

This variable is called a "switch".

How do you solve for variable fx in statistics?

It depends on whether fx denotes frequency times variable value or the probability generating function for the variable x.


Is a repeating decimal multiplied by a variab an irrational number?

No, the product is a variable and whether or not it is irrational will depend on the value of the variable.
