What is the dependent variable and independent variable in this statistical test?

Answer 1

Answer :

The correct choice of answer is : DV - Level of well being ; IV- Location( state or my neighborhood)

Explanation :

In this statistical test we are interested to test the well being scores

Here we can see as the Location changes the well being scores also changes

This is the scores are affected by the Location and thus well being scores are dependent on Location.

Hence the Independent variable is Location or state or neighborhood

and the dependent variable is the level of well being scores in this test .
