An experiment was conducted by some students to explore the nature of the relationship between a person's heart rate (measured i
n beats per minute) and the frequency at which that person stepped up and down on steps of various heights. Three rates of stepping and two different step heights were used. A subject performed the activity (stepping at one of the three stepping rates at one of the two possible heights) for three minutes. Heart rate was then measured at the end of this period. The variables "stepping rate" and "step height" are the A. factors.
B. levels.
C. controls.
D. units.
E. response variables.
The variables "stepping rate" and "step height" are the factors because a activity is performed in which stepping at one of the three stepping rates at one of the two possible heights for three minutes.
The activity is based on both the variables stepping rate and step height.
