Question

One chicken is injected with a growth hormone, while another chicken is not injected with a growth hormone. After one year, both chickens are weighed. Find the independent variable.

  1. If the chicken was injected with a growth hormone or not
  2. The weight of the chicken
  3. The type of chicken
  4. The color of chicken

hintHint:

In a given equation, the 2 variables viz. x & y can be bifurcated into Independent variable and dependent variable.
The independent variable can be referred to as the cause i.e. Its value is independent (does not change as per the other variables) of other variables. The dependent variable can be referred to as the effect. Its value depends on changes in the independent variable.
Generally, Independent variables are represented on the x-axis i.e. horizontal axis and Dependent variables are represented on the y-axis i.e. verticle axis.

The correct answer is: If the chicken was injected with a growth hormone or not


    GIVEN-
    One chicken is injected with growth hormone and another is not.
    Both the chickens are weighed after one year.
    TO FIND-
    Dependent variable in the given scenario.
    SOLUTION-
    In the given scenario, we observe that the chickens are weighed after a year of injecting growth hormone to one of them.
    We know that injection of growth hormone is a given criteria. i.e. it is the pre condition that is to be fulfilled at the start of the year.
    Hence, If the chicken was injected with a growth hormone or not is the independent variable in this situation.
    FINAL ANSWER-
    Option 'a' i.e. 'If the chicken was injected with a growth hormone or not' is the correct answer to the given question.
