Square Footage of a Home & its Amount in Real Estate Taxes

Square Footage of a Home & its Amount in Real Estate Taxes

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks which variable in the given pair is the explanatory variable (independent) and which is the response variable (dependent).

In the pair: Square Footage of a Home & its Amount in Real Estate Taxes, we consider which factor is used to explain or predict the other. Square footage is a physical characteristic of the property that could be used to predict how much real estate tax the property will owe, since tax amounts often depend on property size.

Therefore, Square Footage of a Home serves as the explanatory (independent) variable, while Real Estate Taxes serve as the response (dependent) variable because the tax amount is a result influenced by the size of the home.

Note that in some datasets or policy contexts, real estate taxes could depend on multiple factors beyond square footage (such as assessment methods, location, or tax rates). This can make the relationship more complex, but the conventional interpretation for this pairing is that square footage explains or helps predict taxes, and taxes are the outcome being explained.
