Question

superhero man is trying to breed some sidekicks, and believes that bees exposed to microwaves will become more aggressive. he decides to perform this experiment by placing 100 bees in a microwave for 10 seconds. he compared these 100 bees to another 100 bees that had not been exposed. he makes a dummy of his enemy and counts how many times the bees sting it. he finds that 87 of the microwaved bees sting the dummy compared to 85 of the non - microwaved bees. hypothesis: independent variable (iv): dependent variable (dv): control group: experimental group: constants/controlled variables (at least 3):

Explanation:

• Hypothesis: Bees exposed to microwaves will be more aggressive.
• Independent Variable (IV): Exposure to microwaves (exposed or not - exposed).
• Dependent Variable (DV): Number of times bees sting the dummy.
• Control Group: 100 bees not exposed to microwaves.
• Experimental Group: 100 bees exposed to microwaves for 10 seconds.
• Constants/Controlled Variables: Number of bees in each group (100), the dummy used for stinging, the time of observation.

Answer:

Hypothesis: Bees exposed to microwaves will be more aggressive.
Independent Variable (IV): Exposure to microwaves.
Dependent Variable (DV): Number of stings on the dummy.
Control Group: 100 non - microwaved bees.
Experimental Group: 100 microwaved bees.
Constants/Controlled Variables: Number of bees (100 in each group), the dummy, time of observation.
