select the correct answer. mr. svenson devised a training technique for goalkeepers at his soccer academy. he believes that if goalkeepers train using this technique, they will improve their goal - saving rate in games. the goal - saving rate is the ratio of the number of saves made by a keeper to the number of opposition shots that were on target. to test how effective his new training technique is, mr. svenson splits the goalkeepers at the academy into two groups. one group trains using traditional methods, and the other group trains using the new technique. mr. svenson compares the goal - saving rates of keepers from the two groups in games played against the same level of competition. he finds that keepers who trained using his new technique had a higher goal - saving rate than those who used traditional methods. what does the goal - saving rate of keepers represent in this case? a. the response group b. the explanatory variable c. the response variable d. the control group

Answer

# Brief Explanations: In an experiment, the response variable is what is being measured or observed to see how it is affected by the independent variable. Here, the goal - saving rate is being measured to see the effect of the training technique. The training technique is the explanatory variable, and the groups using different training methods are the treatment and control groups. The goal - saving rate changes based on the training method, so it is the response variable. # Answer: C. the response variable
