Answer 1

Answer:

OptionA

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a hypothesis :

"There will be a statistically significant difference in graduation rates of at-risk high-school seniors who participate in an intensive study program as opposed to at-risk high-school seniors who do not participate in the intensive study program.”

Here we find that high school seniors of at-risk are divided into two groups and one group partipates in an intensive study program  while other group does not.

Thus we find that the graduation rates of at-risk high school is the dependent variable which depends on participation or not.  

A. participation in the intensive study program is the independent variable.
