Question

1. At a daycare, the staff has had problems with

the children behaving badly every day. They
begin to test to see how the children react if the
staff gives them large amounts of candy when

improve their behavior.
Independent Variable:
Dependent Variable:
Experimental Group:

Answer 1

Independent Variable: CANDY

Dependent Variable: CHILDREN'S BEHAVIOR

Experimental Group: CHILDREN THAT RECEIVES THE CANDY

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent variable, in an experiment, is the variable that the experimenter changes or manipulates in order to bring about a response. In this case the independent variable is the CANDY given to the children.

Dependent variable is the variable that the experimenter measures or the variable that responds to changes made to the independent variable. In this case, the dependent variable is the CHILDREN'S BEHAVIOR in response to candy.

Experimental group is the group that receives the experimental treatment in an experiment. In this case, the CHILDREN THAT RECEIVES THE CANDY are the experimental group.
