Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The experiment is designed to see the effect of sleep on memory tests.
. One group got eight hours of sleep a night, and the other group got five hours of sleep a night.
3. The dependent variable is the variable that is being tested and measured in an experiment.
STEP 2
In this experiment, the amount of sleep is being manipulated or controlled by the researchers. This makes it the independent variable.
STEP 3
The results of the memory tests are being measured and are expected to change based on the amount of sleep the participants get. This makes it the dependent variable.
The dependent variable in this experiment is the results of the memory tests.
