Question

Mosquito repellent is sprayed on one arm and the other arm is not sprayed. The number

of mosquito bites is counted after 2 hours.
o the independent variable is the 2 hour time and the dependent variable is the number of
mosquito bites
o the independent variable is the number of mosquito bites and the dependent variable is the
repellant
the independent variable is the repellant and the dependent variable is the 2 hour time
the independent variable is the repellant and the dependent variable is the number of mosquito
bites

Answer 1

The independent variable in this experiment is the mosquito repellent and the dependent variable is the number of mosquito bites.

Step-by-step explanation:

The independent variable in this experiment is the mosquito repellent and the dependent variable is the number of mosquito bites. The independent variable is the factor that is being manipulated or changed in the experiment, in this case, the presence or absence of the mosquito repellent. The dependent variable is the factor that is being measured or observed as a result of the independent variable, in this case, the number of mosquito bites.

Answer 2

Dependent variable: Number of bug bites

Independent variable: Sprayed arm

Control group: Arm not sprayed.

Experimental group: Sprayed arm

Step-by-step explanation:

If you know the definitions for the independent variable, dependent variable, control and experimental group in a problem than it would be less complicated to figure out what they are in any given example. So, here are the definitions:

Independent variable: the factor that you change

Dependent variable: the factor that is measured

Control group: the factor that is kept the same

Experimental group: the group in an experiment that receives the variable being tested

I had this had a question about this last week and got stumped im sure if this will help you? but I do hope it does and im sure exactly what the entire question is so.... Good Luck!
