Answer 1

Answer:

The dependent variable is academic performance

The independent variable is the presence/absence of tutorial support

The control group are students who did not get the tutorial support.

The experimental group were students that got the tutorial support

Explanation:

In every experiment, there is a dependent and independent variable as well as an experimental and a control group.

The experimental group receive the treatment while the control group do not receive the treatment. The independent variable is manipulated and its impact on the dependent variable is evaluated.

The control group are students who did not receive the tutorial support while the experimental group are students that received the tutorial support.

The dependent variable in this case is academic performance. Its outcome depends on the presence or absence of tutorial support (independent variable).
