Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a linear relationship between two variables, the change in the independent variable (X) yields a predictable, constant change in the dependent variable (Y), which makes option B the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because it states that the change in the dependent variable (Y) yields a predictable change in the independent variable (X), which is not true in a linear relationship. Option C is incorrect because it is false; there are many situations where there is a linear relationship between two variables. Option D is incorrect because it is the same as option A and is therefore not true in a linear relationship.
