Question

1. jason spends 2 hours studying for a final test. which choice is a dependent variable in this situation?

a. the number of hours spent studying
b. the score on the final test
c. the number of questions on the test

Explanation:

A dependent variable depends on another variable (independent variable). Here, the number of hours studying (2 hours, independent) may affect the test score. The number of questions on the test is unrelated to study time, and study hours are independent. So the test score depends on study time.

Answer:

B. the score on the final test
