Weight (in pounds)

Height (in centimeters)

165

172

123

157

212

183

175

178

165

163

147

167

In the statement, "Weight is a function of height," which variable is the input and which is the output?

'Height' is the input variable and 'Weight' is the output variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the statement,

'Weight is a function of height'.

Now, as we know, 'In a function of the type y=f (x), 'x' is the independent variable and 'y' is the dependent variable'

That is, we are obtaining the values of the quantity 'y' after substituting the values of 'x'.

So, from the given statement, we see that,

After substituting the values of 'Height', we are obtaining the values of 'Weight'.

Thus, 'Height' is the input variable and 'Weight' is the output variable.
