Question

If I were measuring the pH at varying distances along a stream to test the impact on pH of the factory upstream. I would choose to measure the water above the factory which would represent which part of an experiment (control, independent, or dependent) Circle one.

Answer 1

Dependent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

The dependent variable in an experiment is the variable that the experimenter measures in an experiment. The dependent variable responds to changes made to the independent variable.

In this case, the pH of a stream is being measured at varying distances. If one is to measure the pH of the part of water above the factory, the pH being measured represents the DEPENDENT VARIABLE in the experiment.
