Agenda
1. Continue with variables
2. Mold lab #1
Smithers thinks that a special juice will increase the productivity of workers. He creates two groups of 50 workers each and assigns each group the same task (in this case, they're supposed to staple a set of papers). Group A is given the special juice to drink while they work. Group B is not given the special juice. After an hour, Smithers counts how many stacks of papers each group has made. Group A made 1,587 stacks, Group B made 2,113 stacks.
Questions
Identify the:
1. Control Group
2. Independent (Manipulated) Variable
3. Dependent (Responding) Variable
4. What should Smithers' conclusion be?
5. How could this experiment be improved?
