Answer:
Independent variable - type of cola drink
dependent variable - taste rating of cola drink
extraneous variable - type of cola drink
Explanation:
The independent variable is the variable that the person carrying out an experiment changes or manipulates. the independent variable usually have a direct effect on the dependent variable
The dependent variable is the variable that is being measured in an experiment. It is usually affected by the independent variable.
The extraneous variable is the variable that is not been researched in the experiment but it has the potential to influence the results of the experiment.
The type of cola drink given to participants can be manipulated to derive different ratings. the ratings that participants would give the cola drink is determined by the type of cola drink served. Here, the type of drink served is the independent variable while the ratings given is the dependent variable.
the extraneous variable is the type of drink cups used. this is not relevant to the experiment but can affect the results of the experiments. for example, imagine a red cup is used for the experiment and a participant hates red cups. it is more likely that the participant would give a low rating for the cola drink even if the drink tastes good
