Question

1.Dante loves taking care of the chickens on his farm. He feeds them rice everyday. His Grandma told him that he should feed them corn everyday instead of rice because it will make them grow fatter. He decides to do an experiment to test what type of food will make his chickens fatter. Before the experiment, the chickens weigh an average of 5 pounds. David makes two groups of chicken. He feeds Group A rice everyday, and feeds Group B corn everyday. After on month, David weighs the chickens to see if they gained any weight. Group A weighs an average of 5 pounds and Group B weighs an average of 7 pounds. What is the Dependent (Outcome) Variable of this experiment?

Answer 1

The dependent variable is the chicken weight

Step-by-step explanation:

The experiment was carried out to determine the relationship between the size of chickens and the food with which they are fed.

However, to determine the size of the chickens, the weight of the chickens were taken

The two different experimental treatment was administered separately to the two groups of experimental units

The independent variables are;

1) The type of treatment administered which could be either;

i) Feeding the chickens with corn

ii) Feeding the chickens with rice

2) The duration for which the treatment was administered

The dependent variables is the weight of the chicken after being subjected to one of the two experimental treatments.
