Question

When bananas ripen, they go from green to yellow to brown. They taste best when they are yellow.

A company sells a special bag that is used to store bananas. They claim that if you store your bananas in this bag, the bananas will stay fresh longer.

Aubrey bought five of these bags to test them. She got 10 bananas that were all the same. She placed a banana in each bag, and she left five bananas on the kitchen table. Then she kept track of how ripe the bananas were. She recorded the day when each of the bananas turned too brown to eat.

Of the five in the bags, they lasted 4, 5, 4, 4, and 6 days. Of the five left on the counter, they lasted 3, 3, 2, 3, and 4 days.


What is the responding variable in this experiment?

Answer 1

The responding variable in this experiment is the number of days each banana lasted before turning too brown to eat. This is the variable that Aubrey measured to assess the effect of the different storage methods (bags versus counter) on how long the bananas stayed fresh.
