Question

Dr. Gomez conducts an experiment with two groups of subjects. Half the subjects are given one ounce of alcohol; the other half are given four ounces of alcohol. He then gives all subjects a test of physical and motor coordination. In this experiment, the test of physical and motor coordination is the

Answer 1

Dependent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

In this experiment, Dr. Gomez is testing to see how the amounts of alcohol consumed affects physical and motor coordination. The question explains that he has two groups, the group that drinks 1 ounce of alcohol, and the group that drinks 4 ounces.

It is clear that the group that drinks 4 ounces is going to have slower reaction times, because alcohol inhibits our coordination. We can further give labels to each component of the experiment.

Amount of alcohol consumed: Independent variable

Physical and motor coordination: Dependent variable (because it is dependent on the amount of alcohol)

If a group was to drink water, that group would be labeled as the control group.
