A student does an experiment for a science fair to study whether temperature affects the timing of a cricket’s chirps. The student keeps a cricket in an enclosed box that is heated to different temperatures each day for twelve days. The student records the cricket’s chirps by using a sound-activated microphone so the timing of the chirps can be measured. Which is the dependent variable in this experiment?

Asize of the box
Btemperature of the box
Ctiming of the cricket’s chirps
Dvolume of the cricket’s chirps

Verified Answer :

The dependent variable in the experiment is the timing of a cricket's chirps. Thus, the answer is letter C. This variable is dependent on the temperature of the box in which the cricket was placed. The students want to know the relationship between this two variables.

Answer:

c
