A student states that exercise will affect the number of times a person can squeeze a clothespin in a certain amount of time. An
experiment is carried out to test this hypothesis. One group of ten students sits quietly before squeezing a clothespin as many times as possible during a one-minute interval. A second group of ten students does 25 jumping jacks before squeezing a clothespin as many times as possible during a one-minute interval. What is the independent variable?
In an experiment, the independent variable is the variable that the experimenter changes or manipulates in order to bring about a measurable outcome.
In this case, an experiment is carried out to test the hypothesis that "exercise will affect the number of times a person can squeeze a clothespin in a certain amount of time". The experiment contained two groups (one group sits quietly before squeezing a clothespin as many times as possible and the other does 25 JUMPING JACKS before squeezing a clothespin as many times as possible).
The independent variable is the EXERCISE (jumping jacks) that was changed for each group in the experiment.
Explanation:It does not support the idea that there is a great reduction in any sector of greenhouse gasses . The lines in the second graph remain reasonably flat throughout the sectors in the graph.
