Description:

Write a test question and the answers using the following format. Briefly describe an experiment (you can make this up) that has an independent variable, a dependent variable, a confounding variable, and an extraneous variable that is not a confounding variable. Begin your description by saying: "A researcher was interested in studying the effect of _____ on _____." Then go on to describe the experiment that was carried out. Your description should give enough information so that the reader can figure out each of the variables named above.

After the question, ask what the different variables were. Devise a way to do that using four or more multiple choice questions.

Below that, write the correct answers.
