IV. INDEPENDENT PRACTICE

1. Three groups of students were placed in a classroom with controlled room temperatures of 18°C,
20°C, 25°C. The math exam scores of the students were then taken and compared to the other
groups.
A. Independent Variable: Performance of the three groups of students
B. Dependent Variable: Scores of the Students in the Math Exam
C. Extraneous Variable: Number of items in the Exam
D. Confounding Variable: Temperature Tolerance

2. A teacher wanted to know which learning delivery modes (pure online, pure modular,
combination of online and modular) is most effective and has the fastest turnaround time in the
submission of accomplished activities among her Grade 12 students. She divided the students into
3 groups, gave them the same activity sheets and asked them to submit as soon as it is completed.
She then compared the scores and completion time of the 3 groups.
A. Independent Variable: Delivery Modes
B. Dependent Variable: Activities Completion Time
C. Extraneous Variable: Number of Tasks
D. Confounding Variable: Gadgets

V. APPLICATION
