Question
Group A decides to exercise for a month. Group B decides not to exercise during the same month. Afterwards, they measure the amount of weight that each group lost. ____________ is the dependent variable.
- How much weight each group lost
- The type of exercise
- If group exercises or not
- Group A
Hint:
In a given equation, the 2 variables viz. x & y can be bifurcated into Independent variable and dependent variable.
The independent variable can be referred to as the cause i.e. Its value is independent (does not change as per the other variables) of other variables. The dependent variable can be referred to as the effect. Its value depends on changes in the independent variable.
Generally, Independent variables are represented on the x-axis i.e. horizontal axis and Dependent variables are represented on the y-axis i.e. verticle axis.
The correct answers are: How much weight each group lost, If group exercises or not
GIVEN-
Group A decides to exercise during a month.
Group B decides not to exercise during the same month.
Weights lost by both the groups is measured after a month.
TO FIND-
Dependent variable in the given scenario.
SOLUTION-
In the given scenario, we observe that weight loss is measured after 1 month.
We know that exercising or not is a given criteria. i.e. it is the pre condition that is to be fulfilled at the beginning.
Hence, "How much weight each group lost" is the dependent variable in this situation.
FINAL ANSWER-
Option 'a' i.e. 'How much weight each group lost' is the correct answer to the given question.
