Question

A researcher develops a new drug (Drug X) for anxiety. He administers the drug to 1000 anxious persons to determine its effectiveness. What is the IV in this experiment

Answer 1

The independent variable in this scenario of a drug test would have to be Drug X.

Independent Variable

• Is the variable that is added to an experiment to see if a change will happen.
• Can be said to be the cause of an event after it is added to an experiment.

In this case, the drug is the independent variable because it was given to people to see if it will lead to a change in them such that they would become less anxious.

In conclusion, Drug X is the IV.
