Consider this experiment: You are measuring the impact of number of hours of sleep on test scores. You have three groups of students: one group sleeps for 4 hours the night before an exam, one group sleeps for 8 hours the night before an exam, and the third group sleeps for 12 hours the night before an exam. What is the independent variable in this study?
What is the amount of sleep?
