Answer 2

Answer:

Independent Variable: Watching cartoon alone or with others

Dependent Variable: how funny they found the cartoon to be

Explanation:

A dependent variable is the variable being tested. The change in the value of dependent variable depends on the independent variable.

An independent variable is used to test the effects on dependent variable and its does not depend on any variable.

In the above example the dependent variable is how funny the cartoon was. This is being tested and it is tested by independent variable i.e. Students watching cartoon either alone or with others. So the cartoon is funny or not depends on watching cartoon alone or with friends.
