An individual is teaching a class on Excel Macros. The individual plans to break the class up into groups of 4 and wants each group to have 2 exercises to practice on, with no group doing the same exercise. The individual wants to know how many exercises he will need. Solve for the dependent variable (y) if the independent variable is 16.
If there are 16 independent variables (groups) then there would need to be 2 unique exercises x 16 groups = 32 exercises. If the independent variable is the number of students, then they would only need 8.
