Question

an advertisement on tv claims children grow faster with the use of vitamin gro. vitamin gro is a 25mg pill taken twice a day. the viewer has little knowledge about how children grow, but he knows that children need a complete diet and a good exercise routine. he decided to put the commercial to the test. the viewer uses his 6 nieces who are the same age to conduct the experiments. to make the experiment easier he uses his six nieces using labels such as child 1, child 2 and so on. he records their height every 3 days for 7 days. What are the variables?

Answer 1

Answer:

Independent variable - vitamin gro and exercise routine.

Dependent variable - growth of children or nieces.

Explanation:

There are two variables present in an experiment called dependent and independent variables.

Independent variables are those variables which can be controlled in an experiment and dependent variables are those variables which are measured in the experiment under the influence of the independent variable.

In the given experiment, the independent variable will be vitamin gro and exercise routine and the dependent variable is the growth of children or nieces because vitamin gro and exercise routine can be controlled and growth of children is dependent on vitamin gro and exercise routine.
