Answer:
The independent variable is that entered by the researcher - it does not depend on anything else in the equation
The dependent variable is the result obtained by applying the equation to the independent variable
One variable is entered by the researcher giving rise to the second variable.
In the study given the intensity depends on the average water temperature.
The independent variable is the water temperature and the dependent variable is the maximum strength of the hurricane
In scientific research processes there are several types of variables
* Those that can be controlled or manipulated by researchers, these are called independient variable
* The variables that are measured in the investigation are called dependent variables, these are influenced by the values of the independent and intervening variables
* There is a third type of variable called intervening that affect the results but cannot be identified or controlled by the researchers.
Based on this definition for this case the independent variable must be temperature, even though the researcher cannot control it directly, he can measure its value.
The dependent variable is the intensity or maximum strength and the number of hurricanes that can be measured by the researcher and create a relationship between the intensity as a function of the gulf water temperature.
