Answer:
Independent variable: Type of fertilizer
Dependent variable: Growth rate of carrots
Control variable: No fertilizer
Explanation:
An independent variable in statistics is defined as the variable that is manipulated, and a dependent variable is defined as the variable that is measured. A control variable is defined as a variable that doesn't change and is used to compare the other variables to. Furthermore, the independent and control variables are graphed on the <em>x</em>-axis, and the dependent variables are graphed on the <em>y</em>-axis.
In this case, the farmers <em>manipulate </em>the <em>type of fertilizer</em> they use to <em>measure </em>the <em>effect it has on growth</em>. The control variable would then be the carrots that grow without any fertilizer, because if the fertilizer does have an effect on growth, you would want to know how much or what kind of effect it has.
Answer:
The word that has the same root word as "intercept" is: interception.
The word part which is used to change the part of speech of the word intercept to the new part of speech is: -ion (suffix)
The part of speech this new form of the word is: noun
Explanation:
We can easily see that the words "intercept" in excerpt A and "interception" in excerpt B are very similar. What is the difference between them? Notice that "interception" has some extra letters: -ion. This is a suffix, that is, a group of letters added to a word with the purpose of changing it. While "intercept" is a verb, "interception" is a noun, precisely because of the addition of the suffix. "Interception" means the action of intercepting, that is, of preventing someone or something that is moving toward a destination.
