UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

In the context provided:

- **$$ p $$ (number of patrons)** is the **independent variable** because it is the factor that influences or determines the amount of coffee brewed.
- **$$ c $$ (amount of coffee brewed)** is the **dependent variable** because its value depends on the number of patrons.

**Correct Interpretation:**
- **$$ p $$** is the independent variable.
- **$$ c $$** is the dependent variable.

**Therefore, the first option is correct:**

$$ p $$ is the independent variable and $$ c $$ is the dependent variable.
$$ p $$ is the independent variable and $$ c $$ is the dependent variable.
