Quality control engineers fire tiles made with this new material at three different temperature settings (1500ºF, 1800ºF and 2200ºF) and for four different times (2 hours, 6 hours, 10 hours and 12 hours) to determine the optimal parameter settings for firing that will result in tiles with high flexural strength.The response variable in this experiment is ________________________ .
A)flexural strength
B)firing time
C)firing temperature
D)the new material
E)tiles

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The response variable in an experiment is the outcome or characteristic that is being observed or measured as a result of the experimental conditions. In this case, the experiment aims to determine the optimal firing conditions for tiles to achieve high flexural strength, making flexural strength the response variable.
