Question

cookie monster thinks that a special juice will increase the productivity of cookie making. he creates two groups of 50 pastry cooks each and assigns each group the same task (in this case, theyre supposed to mix cookie dough). group a is given the special juice to drink while they mix. group b is not given the special juice. after an hour, cookie monster counts how many cookies each group has made. group a made 1,587 cookies, group b made 2,113 cookies. 9. what is the independent variable in this experiment? * special juice group a group b amount of cookies made

Explanation:

The independent variable is the factor manipulated by the experimenter. Here, Cookie Monster controls whether pastry cooks receive the special juice (Group A gets it, Group B does not). The other options are either groups (not variables) or the dependent variable (amount of cookies made, which is measured).

Answer:

Special Juice
