rt believes that mice exposed to microwaves will become extra ong (maybe hes been reading too much dioactive man). he decides to perform this eriment by placing 10 mice in a microwave 10 seconds. he compared these 10 mice to ther 10 mice that had not been exposed. test consisted of a heavy block of wood blocked the mouse food. he found that 8 of 10 of the microwaved mice were able to the block away. 7 out of 10 of the non - microwaved mice able to do the same. identify the - 11. control group 12. independent variable 13. dependent variable 14. what should barts conclusion be 15. how could barts experiment be improved?

Question

Accepted Answer

### 11. Control Group
# Brief Explanations:
The control group in an experiment is the group not exposed to the independent variable. Here, the non - microwaved mice (10 mice that had not been exposed to microwaves) are the control group as they are used for comparison with the group exposed to microwaves.
# Answer:
The 10 mice that had not been exposed to microwaves.

### 12. Independent Variable
# Brief Explanations:
The independent variable is the factor that is manipulated in an experiment. In this experiment, Bart manipulates the exposure of mice to microwaves. So the independent variable is the exposure to microwaves (or microwave exposure).
# Answer:
Exposure to microwaves (or microwave exposure)

### 13. Dependent Variable
# Brief Explanations:
The dependent variable is the factor that is measured or observed to see the effect of the independent variable. Here, the ability of the mice to move the block (measured by the number of mice that could move the block) is the dependent variable as it depends on whether the mice were exposed to microwaves.
# Answer:
The ability of the mice to move the block (or the number of mice able to move the block)

### 14. What should Bart's conclusion be?
# Brief Explanations:
To draw a conclusion, we compare the results of the experimental group (microwaved mice) and the control group (non - microwaved mice). 8 out of 10 microwaved mice and 7 out of 10 non - microwaved mice could move the block. The difference is small, and there is no strong evidence that microwave exposure made the mice extra strong. So Bart should conclude that there is not enough evidence to support the claim that microwaved mice become extra strong (or that microwave exposure does not seem to have a significant effect on the mice's ability to move the block in this experiment).
# Answer:
There is not enough evidence to conclude that mice exposed to microwaves become extra strong (or microwave exposure does not seem to significantly affect the mice's ability to move the block in this experiment).

### 15. How could Bart's experiment be improved?
# Brief Explanations:
To improve the experiment, we can consider aspects like sample size, number of trials, and controlling other variables. Increasing the sample size (using more than 10 mice in each group) would make the results more reliable. Also, repeating the experiment multiple times and controlling other factors (like the age, health, and species of the mice) would improve the validity of the experiment.
# Answer:
- Increase the sample size (use more than 10 mice in each group).
- Repeat the experiment multiple times.
- Control other variables such as the age, health, and species of the mice.
