Question

Dr. Adams is studying how the quality of breakfast influences academic performance for elementary school children. A sample of 100 children is selected. Fifty children are provided with a nutritious breakfast when they arrive at school each morning. The other 50 children are given a doughnut each morning. After three months, Dr. Adams records the academic achievement level for each child and compares the two groups of scores. In this example, there are __________ levels of the independent variable, and __________ dependent variable(s). Group of answer choices

Answer 1

2 levels of the independent variable and 0 levels of dependent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

Levels of independent variable indicate the types of experiment here. Here we have the control experiment and experimental group. The control experiment/group is the group that is not altered and used to measure the experimental group. The control group is the 50 children that took nutritious breakfast while the experimental group is the 50 children that took doughnuts /non nutritious food. If there are more than two types of experiment, the number of experiment types are the number of levels of the independent variable. The dependent variable here has 0 levels
