Question

image that you're doing an experiment to determine h9w the running speed of a hamster depends on the weight of the hamster. when plotting your data, what variable should be on the y-axis?

Answer 1

In this experiment the independent variable, the one the experimenter varies, is the weight of the hamster.

The dependent variable, the one the experimenter observes, is the running speed of the hamster.

We usually use the x axis for the independent variable and the y axis for the dependent variable.

Answer: running speed
