Question

In one high school, condoms are freely available. In another similar high school, students must request condoms from the school nurse. The number of pregnancies among both groups of students are compared. The dependent variable is: a. the freely available condoms. b. the condoms available by request. c. the high school students from the first school. d. the number of pregnancies.

Answer 1

The dependent variable in this scenario is the number of pregnancies. Dependent variables
are studied under the supposition that they depend on the values of other variables. In this case, the number of pregnancies is being studied by altering inputs.
