Obesity is a major risk factor for diabetes. Cancer is risk that is linked from diabetes and it considered to be an increased risk. Unfortunately all three of these human conditions are serious and highly complex with both genetic and environmental influences.
You have decided to study the influence of a new exercise regimen on individuals who suffer from a genetic mutation that increases the risk of obesity. Group A is made of individuals who are asked tot run on a treadmill twice a week and Group B is made of individuals who suffer from a genetic mutation that increases the risk of obesity. Researchers weigh patients monthly and observe who use the new exercise routine lost on average 10 pounds more than those running on the tread mill over a period of six months.
What is/are the independent variable?
What is are the dependent variable?
What is your control group?
Ans)1)types of exercise is independent variable
New exercise regimen in group B that is experimental group while treadmill run in groupA ie control group.
Independent variable are those variable which itself being manipulated so type of exercise is independent variable
Ans2)dependant variable is the test performance or possible outcome of intetest which depend on independent variable.
Here loss of 10 pound in group B ie experimental group in response to new exercise regime is dependent variable.
Ans3) group A is control group whose outcome does not influenced by independent variable.
