Question

Tim sets up an experiment with 3 groups of runners. Group 1 smokes 1 pack per day. Group 2 smokes 2 packs per day. Group 3 smokes 3 packs per day.

After 1 month, Tim measures the average 40 yard dash time for each group and finds that group 3 was the slowest, 2 was in the middle, and 1 was the fastest.

B) Tim did not have a dependent variable. C) Tim did not use a control group. D) Tim did not have a hypothesis.
