Smithers thinks that a special juice will increase the productivity of two groups of
50 workers. He creates two groups of 50 workers each and assigns each group
the same task (in this case, they're supposed to staple a set of papers). Group A is
given the special juice to drink while they work. Group B is not given the special
juice. After an hour, Smithers counts how many stacks of papers each group has
made. Group A made 1,587 stacks, Group B made 2,113 stacks.
Use this scenario to answer questions 1-4

1. Identify the control group
A: Group A
B: Group B
C: There is no control group

2. Identify the independent variable

a: Amount of pages stapled
b: Special Juice
c: Stapler

3. Identify the dependent variable*

a: Special Juice

b: Stapler

c: Amount of pages stapled

4. What should Smithers conclusion be?


a: Group A made 1,587 stacks and Group B made 2,113 stacks of paper therefore the special drink DID work

b :There isn't enough evidence to make a conclusion

c: Group A made 1,587 stacks and Group B made 2,113 stacks of paper therefore the special drink DID NOT work​

Answer:

bbcc

Step-by-step explanation:

1.)Group B wasn't given anything to effect their productivity.

2.)The special juice is not effected by other factors.

3.)The amount of pages stapled is directly affected by the special juice variable

4.)The point of the special juice was to increase productivity, since the group with the special juice was less productive than the group without it the special juice failed.
