Answer:

The correct option is option a. an extra variable that could explain result differences between groups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confusion variables, also called third variables, are variables that the investigator did not control or did not eliminate and that damage the internal validity of an experiment, that is, the degree to which the results are valid.

The dependent and independent variables are the two main variables of any experiment or investigation. The independent is one that changes or is controlled to study its effects on the dependent variable. The dependent is that variable that is investigated and measured.

Confusion variables may cause the investigator to analyze the results incorrectly. The results may show a false correlation between dependent and independent variables.

So the correct option is option a. an extra variable that could explain result differences between groups.

This is because this additional variable that was not controlled or taken into account during the experimental study modifies the result. And the other groups that conducted the experiment and took into account the variable will have different results because they take into account other independent variables.

Aveterinarian uses the function f(t) =3.7t +21 to estimate a puppy's future weight in pounds as a function of time in months

loris [4]

f(t) = 3.7t + 21

where t is the time in months

f = 3.7t /t + 21 / t

f = 3.7 + 21/t

Jasmine recorded the number of minutes she spent doing homework each day during the months of March and April

otez555 [7]

Answer:

Option A,B,C and D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see , the data set for April month has longer time duration taken for completing homework as compared to the time taken during the month of April. Hence, option A is correct.

Option B is also correct because most of the instance of time taken for doing homework is greater for month of April as compared to the month of March

Median value for the month of march = 25 and median value for the month of April is (30+35)/2 = 32.5. Hence, Option C is correct

There is greater variability for the month of April. Hence, option D is correct

Polygon ABCD is dilated by a scale factor of 1.5 with point A as the center of dilation, resulting in the image A'B'C'D'. If the

Sever21 [200]

The correct answer among the choices provided is the third option. The length of the line C'D' is 6.75 units but it does not pass through A. The first step is to multiply 4.5 with the scale factor which is 1.5. 6.75 is the product and the answer of the problem.
