Extraneous

An <em>extraneous variable</em> is a variable in an experiment that you are not intentionally studying. These variables usually provide undesired affects on the experiment.

In this example, the independent variable is whether a sentence is humorous or not, and the dependent variable is the memory performance score. However, because the humorous sentences are only given to males, and the non-humorous sentences are only given to females, gender becomes an extraneous variable as you are not intentionally testing gender's relation to the dependent variable, but it is still affecting the experiment.

This is worth 35 points:<br> why is reconciliating with great Britain not an option for the colonies
FinnZ [79.3K]

Re conciliating with great Britain not an option for the colonies  The

King and Parliament believed they had the right to tax the

colonies. They decided to require several kinds of taxes from the

colonists to help pay for the French and Indian War. These taxes

included the Stamp Act, passed in 1765, which required the use

of special paper bearing an embossed tax stamp for all legal

documents. Other laws, such as the Townsend Acts,a.

Many colonists felt that they should not pay these taxes,

because they were passed in England by Parliament, not by their

own colonial governments. The colonists started to resist by boycotting, or not buying,

British goods. In 1773 some colonists in Boston, Massachusetts

demonstrated their frustration by dressing up like Indians,

sneaking onto ships in the harbor, and dumping imported tea into

the water. This was called the Boston Tea Party.

A dog, cat, and mug are in the same room. If the dog and the cat have the same mass, which one has more potential energy?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Both.

Explanation:

Both dog and cat has the same potential energy because of the same mass of both animals. Potential energy depends on the height and mass of the body. if the mass of the body increases, its potential energy automatically increases and vice versa. If both dog and cat have the same mass, they have similar potential energy so we can conclude from the discussion that both have the same potential energy in their body.
