A botanist is exploring the effect of daily sunlight on plant growth. She collects data over a week from several plants, measuring the average hours of sunlight each plant receives daily and the resulting height increase (in centimeters). The data represents a pair of numerical variables analyzed together. For this study, identify the roles of the variables:
  • "Sunlight Hours per Day" is the:
  • "Height Increase (cm)" is the:
