OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is math, leave

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is math Experimental Design to be exact

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

hint: the control group is the group that doesn't get the treatment in the experiment

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I had answer A in mind am I right

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

ok, m first hint wasn't very good, how about this: the control variable is a variable that does NOT change in the experiment

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh now I get it Thanks for the help

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

so, what do you think the answer is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Somewhere between B and D

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

Does Jenny's health change?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It doesn't say

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

But what do you think? Will Jenny's health change?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not really no

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

Are you sure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kinda

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

here's another hint: a control variable is something that we deliberately keep the same. the dependent variable is what we are measuring with that being said, do you think that Jenny's health is a control variable or a dependent variable?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would say dependent variable

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

yup! you're right! so, what do you think the final answer is?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

B or D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B.

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

Please try again, remember, we just said that Jenny's health is a dependent variable, not a control variable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I guess it's D. I'm sorry I haven't gotten any sleep and I'm trying to finish this class by Friday

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

Yup, good job ~
