Question

7) You decide to clean your bedroom. You notice that your floor is covered with clothes. You decide to try

to get rid of the clothes by throwing the clothes into the air. You throw clothes from a 1/3 of the room into

the closet and a second 1/3 of the room straight up in the air. The last 1/3 of the room you leave the

clothes on the floor. After 30 minutes of "cleaning", the floor of the room is now visible.

a. Independent Variable

b. Dependent Variable hou clean the room is

c. Control Variable

Answer 1

a. Independent Variable: throwing clothes (i.e., the bedroom)

b. Dependent Variable: how clean the floor is

c. Control Variable: throwing clothes into the air

Step-by-step explanation:

The independent variable is a variable that isn't modified by the other variables measured in the experiment. Conversely, the dependent variable is the variable measured in the experiment which is 'dependent' on the independent variable. Finally, the control variable is a variable that is constant (i.e., unmodified) throughout the course of the experiment.
