Jorge has made the hypothesis that the more he feeds a mouse, the shinier its fur will be, because the mouse will be healthier. what should be the dependent variable in an experiment testing this hypothesis? a. how shiny each mouse's fur is b. how much each mouse weighs c. the type of food he feeds each mouse d. the amount of food he feeds each mouse

A. how shiny each mouse's fur is

Explanation:

In experimental procedure, the independent variable in the experiment is the variable which can be altered, manipulated or changed in order to observe the impact of this process over the dependent variable which is the result of the experiment.

A. is the correct option as it depends upon the amount of food he feeds a mouse. More clearly, here food is the independent variable and shiny fur is the dependent variable.            

yes it is weird but true

the principles and empirical processes of discovery and demonstration considered characteristic of or necessary for scientific investigation, generally involving the observation of phenomena, the formulation of a hypothesis concerning the phenomena, experimentation to test the hypothesis, and development of a conclusion that confirms, rejects, or modifies the hypothesis.
