Choose one of the graphs below and create a story explaining the graph. You must explain which graph you chose, include an appropriate title for the graph, establish an independent and dependent variable (explain in terms of “this depends on this”), and tell a story that relates both variables to the trend shown on the graph. You CANNOT use any previous stories that we have used in our notes or ACE problems. Make this an original story! This posting needs to be REALISTIC and detailed! Check your spelling and grammar. It is VERY possible that this will be a level 2 grade!

the title of my graph is speeds of the wind.the wind in coppell tx has been ranging speed as the time passes by. i think that graph # 4 should go along with my story because the speed of the wind could increase and decrease again. the independent variable is the time. the dependent variable is the speed of the wind.
I picked graph #5. The title of the graph is temperature throughout the day. The temperature depends on the time of day which is why temperature is dependent and time is independent. The temperature slowly increases throughout the day, up until a point where it stays the same for a little bit, then increases at a faster rate throughout the rest of the day. I picked this situation because this is the normal patterns of the weather in a day. It slowly increases as the sun rises, says the same in the afternoon, and slowly gets hotter in the late afternoon (like around 2:00pm).
I chose graph #2 and my graph is titled amount of adults outside of their houses throughout the day. Time of the day goes on the x-axis an amount of people outside goes on the y-axis because the amount of people outside depends on the time of the day. In the beginning of the day the amount of adults outside increases a little then stays the same because some people have to go to work. Then a little bit around 8 the amount of people increase rapidly then decreases rapidly because parents are dropping their kids at school then going back home. And the reason it stays the same is because the people are still at work.
I chose graph #3 and i titled it kids at a snowcone shop.On the x axis i put the temperature because temperature will never stop and we have no control over it.On the y axis i put number of snow cones sold because it depends on the temperature.At the beggining of this graph the coustomer amount is very minimum this probbly is accuring because it is very cold outside so nobody want a cold snow cone when it is cold outside, they probly want something more like hot choclate.As the graph continues more and more people are intrested in purchasing a snowcone this is happening because the temperature is hotter so people want to cool of with a snowcone.If you look at the end of the chart you can tell thay a large amount of people are intrested in purchasing a snow cone this is because the higher the temperatures the more people buy snowcones.
Hello Mrs. Ryon, I picked graph 5. The title of my graph is "The total amount of miles driven in 1 day." The independent variable is “Time (Hrs.)” and the dependent variable is the “Total number of miles driven.” Okay so, there was this really awesome guy named Daniel, he drove his Ferrari 100 the first hour, and then he had to use the bathroom really bad so he stopped for 2 hours. Then he started driven pretty slow and floored it till he had a total of 234 miles in 1 single day.
I’m using Graph 3 & my title is The Amount of Seats filled in a movie theatre at a screening of Avatar. My independent variable is Time & my dependent variable is amount of chairs filled in a theatre. During previews is when people start to come in, so they can find a good spot. Then when everyone is there, the movie will start. It will take about two hours for AVATAR to end. Time to time, people get up to use the restroom or get more snacks, but only one or two at a time though. Finally the movie ends & everyone leaves to go home, or if there at Cinemark, they’ll go shopping around Vista Ridge mall. (The small changes in seating during the movie are not very visible.)
Hi Mrs.Ryon! I chose graph #3 which I labled "number of customers in a fast food place from 7:00am till 4:00pm" The ind.variable is time(hours) and the dependent variable is the number of customers because the number of customers depends on the time of day. In the early morning at aruond 7:00am, people don't want fast food for breakfast so only a few people come. Then more people come to eat lunch there.The # of customers stays consistant though because the fast food place has few tables to seat people. At around 2:30-4:00 people leave so that they can get back to work on time.
I chose graph 5. The title of my graph is the Number of laps in an hour. The independent variable is time (min) and the dependent variable is the number of laps. I put these variables this way because the number of laps depends on the time. A figure skater decided to see how fast she can skate around the rink in an hour. As the first 20 min pasted, she skates 6 laps at a fast speed. During the next 20 min, she skates 1 lap, takes a 5 min break, and skated 6 more laps in the last 20 min with a total of 13 laps in the hour
Before game time, basketball fans begin to enter the stadium and settle in. By the middle of the first quarter people have all arrived, and are seated in the stands to watch the game. While the game is going on, they remain in the building to watch the game. Once the score shows that the game is pretty much over in the 4th quarter no one wants to stay and watch the game, so they start to steadily leave to beat traffic or get the kids to bed. This is an explanation for graph number 3. A good title for this graph is "Fans at a Basketball Game". The x axis or the independent variable would be time in quarters. The y axis or the dependant variable would be number of fans. The number of people in the stands watching depends on the quarter in the game. At the beginning there is a steady increase in spectators. The number of people stays constant during the middle quarters. When it is the 4th quarter, not many people want to stay so there is a steady decrease of people.
I picked graph 5.The title would be customers at a hot chocolate shop. Since, people mostly drink hot chocolate in the winter time there would be less people in the summer than winter. The total number of customers would depend on the temperature,therefore total number of customers is the dependent and the temperature is independent. Tom is making a graph on the total sales of Dougie's hot chocolate shop over the last 2 years. Dougie says that it when it increases,the weather is cooler and when it decreases it is getting warmer.
I choose graph #1. The title of my graph is food in a lion’s cage, over a day time. In the morning at the zoo there is no food in the lion’s cage. As the day goes on, still no food in the cage until around the lions lunch time. The zoo keeper feeds the lions its food. The number of amount of food increases in the cage. Quickly the lion’s devower their food and the amount of food in the cage instantly decrease back to the normal low rate. This means that the amount of food in the cage depends on what time of the day it is. Therefore, graph #1 works because it shows slow rate at first, the fast increase and reaching a high point, and then a quick decrease and back to the normal slow rate.
Graph number 1 represents “the amount of candles made in a year”! The amount of candles sold depends on the month of the year! In the middle of the spring 10 candles were sold and then it stays that way during the summer until the winter and then 50 candles are sold. When the winter is over and the spring comes only 10 candles and sold again. During the summer none are sold!!
I chose graph #3. Graph number three for me represents " hours im awake". The amount of hours im awake depends on how many hours i get of sleep at night. I wake up everyday (shown on graph by 1st line), stay up so i can go to school (horizontal line) im at school (still awake) and then i go home (eyes are wide open!), and at 10:00 i go to sleep ! (last line made on graph).
I picked graph #4. My title is Go up that mountain! The independent variable is time and the dependent is the speed. There is a boy and he goes up and down a bumpy mountain. So your speed would increase and decrease as you went up and down the mountain.
I choose graph 5 and here is my story. If Billy started running at a fast pace. Then he started to fast walk to catch his breath. After that he started to run at the fast pace again. The tittle of my graph is Billy's Run in 30 minutes. The indepent varible is time and the dependent varible is the amount he run. Thats is why my story is about billy running!

The Bronxville Bombers are having a baseball game against the Danderson Devils. The Bronxville Bombers have been having a great attendence record. The game doesn't start until 7 o'clock. From 5-6:30, a steady rate of fans started showing up to the game. By the time the game started, there were 26,000 fans attending this ballgame. Around the 3rd inning, some more fans started arriving to this ballgame. There was then an attendence of 32,000. The game ended around 10:00 PM and all the fans started heading home. By 1:00 AM, the stadium was empty.
I chose graph three for this event, because rarely will there be one attendence from the start to the end of any sporting event. For this graph, the independent variable was fan attendence, and the dependent variable was the time of day. As time increased until, 10:00 PM, the number of fans as well insreased. At 10:00 PM, as time increased, the number of fans decreased. So, time of day was depending on fan attendence.
The graph I so proudly chose was graph number five. Here’s the story behind it. You’re at your house, and you decide to grab something to eat. There is a shop about a mile away. You grab your stuff, and hit the road, at a fairly steady pace. You’re about halfway there, and while you’re riding through your neighborhood, you stop by a friend’s house and invite him to tag along. This takes a few moments. When you’re both ready, you head on over to the small shop, riding at a constant pace. The independent variable would be the time it takes them to get there. The dependent variable would be total progress made. The title for this perfectly made graph would be, “riding to the shop”.
I choose graph 5.My title of this graph is total miles ran in 5 hrs. The independant variable is time (HRS)beacuse time doesnt depend on anything beacuse time does not stop. The dependant variable is distance ran (MI). So chas started off really fast beacuse he had a lot of energy after and stayed at a steady past for an hr. His legs gave out and he had to go to the doctor for 2 and a half hrs. then when he got back he ran kinda slow to make sure it didnt give out again. Then he ran fast to gain lost ground. Thats my story for graph five
I am choosing graph 3 for this post. The title of the graph is afternoon hike. The x axis or independent variable is the time hiking. The y axis or dependent is the distance from the start. Therefore the amount of distance traveled depends on the amount of time traveled .You first start out fast when hiking, because you have a lot of energy. When you have been hiking for a while you decide its time to stop and have lunch. After the picnic you would feel nice and rested so you back to the head of the trail and when you get to the end you stop.
I chose graph five to represent my example. I went on a road trip and after 200 miles of driving at a constant rate I slowed down to stop for lunch. I stopped for lunch lasting one hour. I had to get back on the highway before going back to my normal speed. I then drove at a constant rate till the end of the day. The title of my graph is Distance of my Road Trip. The distance depends on the time of day. The graph shows that my independent variable is time and my dependent variable is distance.
Hey Mrs. ryon! I chose graph #1 for my story! The title is snacks bought at the concession stand during a football game. The independent variable is time of football game, and the dependent variable is amount of people buying snacks. The begging increase represents a little people buying snacks before kick-off. Then once the game starts no one wants to miss a play, so the line is horizontal. Then they wait until half time if their still hungry. Once half time begins, there are LONG lines for snacks, which indicate the more vertical line. Then the other vertical line pointing almost straight down represents the 3rd quarter starting! Then again no one wants to miss a play, so they wait until the end to buy snacks!!! (:
Graph #3 represents the time and the amount of money in you get at your job each week. At the begining when you are erning because you just got a job so they pay a little bit more every pay check. Then they pay you the same amount then when you are close to getting a diferint job they pay you less and less. The indepentent variable is the time ( weeks) and the dependent variable is the money you have.
Graph one has the best example of number of people at the mall as time goes on during a day. During the early morning not many people went to the mall, as the time goes on more and more people are going to the mall. Around 4 and 5pm the most people started coming to the mall. When time starts going later and later, less and less people start leaving. One because it will close soon and two most grown-ups have jobs and kids so they have to get home and focus on them. If you were to make a graph the costumers DEPEND on the time, but the time doesn’t depend on the number of costumers. So the time would be the independent variable and the amount of costumers would be the dependent variable.

Graph 3 independent variable time dependent variable bags sold over time
There is two little boy scouts. They have to sell 50 boxes of popcorn. So at first they sell 10 boxes of popcorn in 30 minutes, and stay consistent for 4 hours. Then the boy scouts come in for a break for the heat, for 2 hours. Then after they took a break they went around their neighborhood and then grandmother on Elms Street returns 10 boxes because her grandchild hates popcorn. So they now have 70 boxes sold. Then the rich neighbor Ricky returned 20 boxes because he found 10 boxes in his pantry. So at the end of the day they reached their goal.
I chose graph #3 a good title for graph #3 is a day at Hurricane Harbor. The independent variable would be the time of day. The dependent variable would be the number of people. That would be because the number of people depends on the time of day. The first people start arriving early, and soon more and more people start coming at a constant rate. Soon all the people are there and stay there for a while. After the whole day people would start leaving because they are tired and because they are hungry.
I chose graph three because it makes sense with my story.
Story: Ashley and Olivia went to the mall of Saturday. It was so packed. They shopped for two hours went when they got tired of shopping they went to the movies for another two hours. The line for the movies were long so the stood in line for one hour and spent the other watching the movie. When the movie was over the girls went to a restaurant inside the mall and had lunch for one hour. The waiting list was terribly crazy. So they waited for their table for 30mins and spent the other half eating. Olivia and Ashley were beat and tired. So they went home and slept.
The independent variable should be the number of people in the mall should be the number of hours spent at the mall. The dependent variable should be the number of hours spent at the mall. The number of hours spent at the mall depends on the number of people in the mall. The title should be Ashley and Olivia’s day at the mall.
I have chosen graph 1 and the title of my graph is distance from starting point. Ok what happened was I was running for an hour and I was 1 mile away from my starting point. I stopped running for 6 hours and then started running again and then I was a total of 7 miles away from my starting point. Then I had to go all the way back to where I took a brake because I left my cell phone there and then stayed there for another 6 hours. Then I decided to just go all the way back to my starting point. The independent variable is the time (hours). The dependant variable is the distance from starting point.
I choose graph number #1 and the indepent variable (X axis) is time and the dependent variable (Y axis) is number of people that walk in a grocery store. At the beginning of the day, people came to the grocery store, the number of people stayed pretty much the same through the entire day. The next day they started a sale on turkeys and a bunch of people came and bought turkeys. When the sale ended the next day all the customers who came the day before left. The next day the customers came regularly as they did day 1 and then left when the store closed.
