Analysis
Shannon wants to see if the amount of time she studies will affect her grades. She normally studies for 30 minutes a night, but decides to double her study time to one hour per night. Over the next three weeks Shannon sees her science grade raise 10%.
What is the Independent Variable?
Amount of study time
