Question

Help I can't find anyone who knows the answer to this! I will fan and medal to the first person who can answer it!


A scientist sets up an experiment to see how colored lights affect the height of plant growth. He grows one group of plants in full sunlight, one group under red lights, one group under blue lights, and one group under green lights. All the plants are exactly that same type and all receive an equal intensity of life. At the end of the experiment he measures all the plants.

What is the independent and dependent variable in this equation?

(A) the color of the light

(B) the height of the plant

(C) sunlight

(D) The intensity of the light

Answer 1

Okay, so, an Independent Variable is a variable (often denoted by x ) whose variation does not depend on that of another. And a Dependent Variable is a variable (often denoted by y ) whose value depends on that of another. Hope this helps!!! ^-^

Answer 2

Okay so would it be B as the Dependent and D as the independent?

Answer 3

I believe so.
