Question 2. Would you please state what is the distinction between studying math's and statistics. Why do you need to study math first to enroll a statistics course

Question 6. The weight of a cut of beef (independent variable = w [for weight]) may affect the overall price (dependent variable = p [for price]).
So, for example, while independent variable p may be $2 per pound, w will influence the total value of p
1. When W = 4.0 lbs, thus p = $8
2. When W = 3.0 lbs, p will equal $6
How the meat size and price can be considered as independent and dependent measures?
