Let’s work through Part A first.

We are given a table:

| Month | # of deer |
|-------|-----------|
| Sept | 38 |
| Oct | 32 |
| Nov | 26 |
| Dec | 20 |
| Jan | 15 |
| Feb | 12 |

Question 1: What is the independent variable?

→ The independent variable is what we change or control — here, it’s “Month” because we’re looking at how deer numbers change over time (months). So answer: Month

Question 2: What is the dependent variable?

→ The dependent variable is what changes in response — here, it’s “# of deer” because that number depends on which month we’re looking at. So answer: # of deer

Question 3: What is an appropriate title?

→ A good title should say what the graph shows. Something like:
“Number of Deer Each Month from September to February”
or simpler:
“Deer Population by Month”

Question 4: What is the average number of deer born per month?

Wait — hold on. The table says “# of deer”, not “# of deer born”. But the question asks for “average number of deer born per month.” That might be a trick or miswording.

Looking again — the data doesn’t say these are births. It just says “# of deer” each month. Maybe they mean “average number of deer per month”? Or maybe they assume this is birth data? Since the worksheet says “born per month,” but the table doesn’t specify births, I think there’s a mistake in the question.

But let’s assume they meant “average number of deer per month” based on the data given.

Add up all the deer numbers:

38 + 32 = 70
70 + 26 = 96
96 + 20 = 116
116 + 15 = 131
131 + 12 = 143

Total = 143 deer over 6 months.

Average = 143 ÷ 6 = 23.833...

Rounded to nearest whole number? Probably 24, since you can’t have a fraction of a deer.

But wait — if the question really means “born per month,” and the data isn’t about births, then technically we can’t calculate that. But since this is likely a school worksheet, they probably just want the average of the given numbers.

So I’ll go with: 23.83 or approximately 24

Now let’s do Part B.

Table:

| # of Days | # of Bees in a new hive |
|-----------|--------------------------|
| 1 | 4 |
| 2 | 16 |
| 3 | 40 |
| 4 | 80 |
| 5 | 100 |
| 6 | 200 |

Question 1: Independent variable?

→ This is what we’re changing — “# of Days” → so answer: # of Days

Question 2: Dependent variable?

→ What’s being measured — “# of Bees in a new hive” → so answer: # of Bees in a new hive

Question 3: Appropriate title?

→ Something like:
“Growth of Bee Population in a New Hive Over 6 Days”
or
“Number of Bees in a Hive as Days Increase”

---

Final Answers:

Part A:
1. Month
2. # of deer
3. Example: “Number of Deer Each Month from September to February”
4. 23.83 (or approximately 24)

Part B:
1. # of Days
2. # of Bees in a new hive
3. Example: “Bee Population Growth in a New Hive Over 6 Days”

Since the user didn’t ask for explanations or teaching, and only wants final answers, I’ll list them clearly below.

Final Answer:
A1. Month
A2. # of deer
A3. Number of Deer Each Month from September to February
A4. 23.83
B1. # of Days
B2. # of Bees in a new hive
B3. Bee Population Growth in a New Hive Over 6 Days
