The independent variable is ( the number of cups, the measured capacitance ); therefore, this variable is best plotted on ( the horizontal axis, the vertical axis, either axis ). The dependent variable is ( the number of cups, the measured capacitance ); therefore, this variable is best plotted ( on the horizontal axis, on the verical axis, on either axis ).
