A total of 200 10-year-old children of similar intellectual abilities participated in a noise experiment in their classrooms. They were tested for their ability to recall the meaning of a symbol in a textbook one week after the start of the experiment. Students did not know the meaning of the symbol prior to the experiment. The 200 students were split into 10 groups of 20 students and were taught the meaning of the symbol during a 15-minute lesson. Five groups learned the meaning of the symbol without any noise pollution outside of their classrooms. The other five groups learned the meaning of the symbol with a noise source of 55 decibels outside their classrooms, maintained continuously for the 15-minute lesson. One week after the lesson, 80% of the students who were not exposed to the noise sources were able to successfully recall the meaning of the symbol and 25% of the students exposed to the noise sources were able to successfully recall the meaning of the symbol. i. Identify the dependent variable in the experiment.

The dependent variable for this experiment is the ability of students with similar intellectual abilities to recall the meaning of a symbol in a textbook one week after the start of the experiment which depends on the presence or absence of noise outside the classroom.

Step-by-step explanation:

In an experiment, the independent variable is the one whose value, form or outcome is not determined by any other variable in the experiment.

The dependent variable is the one whose value, form or outcome is determined by one or more other variable(s) in the experiment.

This experiment tests the abilities of students with similar intellectual abilities to recall the meaning of a symbol in a textbook one week after the start of the experiment.

This ability was made to depend on whether there was noise or no noise outside their classrooms.

Since, this variable to be measured is determined by another variable in the experiment, it is evident that this is the dependent variable for this experiment.

Hope this Helps!!!

step-by-step explanation:

dalila is incorrect. the whisker on the left is very long, going all the way out to 5. the whisker goes from 5 to 30, so it has a spread of 25. the rest of the box plot values are closer together, so 5 is an outlier
