Henry, Mia, and Aria are conducting an experiment to determine the effect of different music genres on plant growth. In this context, what is a confounding variable?

A variable that is controlled by Henry, Mia, and Aria

A variable that is used to administer the placebo effect

A variable that is associated with another variable in the experiment, such as the type of plant or the volume of the music

A variable that is randomly assigned to different groups, like the genre of music each plant is exposed to

Answer explanation

A confounding variable is a variable associated with another variable in the experiment, such as the type of plant or the volume of the music. It can affect the results and make it difficult to determine the true cause and effect relationship.

Samuel, Sophia, and Olivia are conducting an experiment on the growth of plants under different light conditions. Why is it important for them to use a randomized block design in their experiment?

To clarify the difference between the plants grown under different light conditions

To prevent bias in data collection

To ensure the placebo effect is effective

To compare the results of different light conditions on plant growth

Answer explanation

Using a randomized block design helps clarify differences between plants grown under different light conditions and prevents bias in data collection.
