A chemistry experiment is performed measuring the solubility of potassium chloride (KCl) in water at different temperatures. The goal was to determine if there is a linear relationship between the temperature of the water and how much KCl can dissolve, measured as grams per 100 milliliter (g/100mL). After the experiments were performed, the following data was collected with temperature being the independent x-variable and solubility being the dependent y-variable: Temperature (°C) x Solubility (g/100mL) y 10 31 20 33 30 37 40 41 50 42 Based on the data given for temperature and solubility of KCl and without doing any math yet, which of the following do you predict would best describe the relationship between these variables?     A positive linear relationship (r close to 1)     A positive linear relationship (r close to -1)     A negative linear relationship (r close to 1)     A negative linear relationship (r close to -1)…

An analyst wanted to analyze the relationship between the speed of a car (x) measured in mph and its gas mileage (y). As an experiment a car is operated at several different speeds and for each speed the gas mileage is measured. These data are shown below.   Speed 25 35 45 50 60 65 70 Gas Mileage 40 39 37 33 30 27 25   What is the dependent variable? What is the independent variable?
