Solution:
From the given table;
Where, the November values is used as 100 percent;
To find the missing percentages of Elm leaves
For the month of May
[tex]\begin{gathered} For\text{ the month of November: 3481} \\ For\text{ the month of May;} \\ =\frac{1739}{3481}\times100\%=49.95690\approx50.0\%\text{ \lparen1 decimal place\rparen} \\ For\text{ the month of August} \\ =\frac{35}{3481}\times100\%=1.00545\approx1.0\%\text{ \lparen1 decimal place\rparen} \end{gathered}[/tex]
To find the missing percentages of Hazel leaves
[tex]\begin{gathered} For\text{ the month of November:}1723 \\ For\text{ the month of May;} \\ =\frac{501}{1723}\times100=\:29.07719\approx29.1\%\text{ \lparen1 decimal place\rparen} \\ For\text{ the month of August;} \\ =\frac{62}{1723}\times100\%=3.59837\approx3.6\%\text{ \lparen1 decimal place\rparen} \end{gathered}[/tex]
What is the independent and dependent variable?
An independent variable is a variable that does not depend on any other variable.
For example,
[tex]3y=4x+1[/tex]
x is an independent variable because for every value of x, there is a different value of y
A dependent variable is a variable whose value depends upon an independent variable.
For example;
[tex]y=5x[/tex]
From the expression above, the value of y depends on the value of x
