A(n) specifies the phenomena of interest; indicates which variables are independent, alternative, antecedent, intervening, and dependent; and shows which variables are thought to affect which other ones.

An arrow diagram

Step-by-step explanation:

Helps keep track of intricate relationships between variables. Specifies the phenomena of interest: independent, alternative, antecedent and intervening.

-Antecedent -> Independent -> intervening-> dependent

An arrow diagram is defined as a process diagramming tool used to determine optimal sequence of events, and their inter-connectivity. It  is a network diagramming technique in which activities are represented by arrow, used for scheduling and to determine the critical path through nodes. The arrow diagramming method shows the required order of tasks in a project or process, the best schedule for the entire project, and potential scheduling and resource problems and their solutions. The arrow diagram lets you calculate the "critical path" of the project the flow of critical steps where delays can affect the timing of the entire project and where addition of resources can speed up the project.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the characteristics displayed above, it is clear that the tool in question is an Arrow diagram.

6,250

step-by-step explanation:

to get the area, multiply 360 by 160.(57,600)

to find out how many bags of fertilizer it will take, first figure out how many square feet one bag can hold. divide 1000 by 8(125) to get the unit rate(how many square feet one pound of fertilizer can hold)and multiply it by 50(6250). if i haven't made a mistake, that is the answer.
