Explanation:

Match each experimental term to its correct definition based on the experiment description:

1. Independent Variable: The factor being tested, which is the detergent type here.
2. Dependent Variable: The outcome being measured, which is how clean the pants are.
3. Experimental Group: The group exposed to the test factor (new detergent).
4. Control Group: The group without the test factor (plain water wash) for comparison.
5. Constant Variable: The factor kept the same across all trials.

Answer:

Independent Variable → Type of detergent
Dependent Variable → how clean the pants are
Experimental Group → Pants washed with Clean-O
Control Group → Pants washed in plain water
Constant Variable → Washing Machine
