Answer 1

Answer:

Dependent variable: Number of bug bites

Independent variable: Sprayed arm

Control group: Arm not sprayed.

Experimental group: Sprayed arm

Explanation:

If you know the definitions for the independent variable, dependent variable, control and experimental group in a problem than it would be less complicated to figure out what they are in any given example. So, here are the definitions:

Independent variable: the factor that you change

Dependent variable: the factor that is measured

Control group: the factor that is kept the same

Experimental group: the group in an experiment that receives the variable being tested
