dependent variable

Explanation:

An experiment is made by associating some types of variables that will directly influence the outcome of the experiment and the conclusion of the hypothesis. These variables are called dependent and independent.

The independent variable is that one that does not need any other variables to measure, as it represents the factor that will be manipulated in a survey. In the case of Jasmeet's research, the independent variable is the amount of food she will provide to her Siamese fighting fish.

On the other hand, the dependent variable is that which shows a result that depends on the independent variable, that is, the result provided by the dependent variable corresponds to how the independent variable was measured and manipulated. Jasmeet did not announce what her dependent variable was, she did not say what would be assessed from the different amounts of feed she would give the fish.

For this reason, we can conclude that the dependent variable is the aspect of the Jasmeet experiment that failed.
