Quality control engineers fire tiles made with this new material at three different temperature settings (1500°F, 1800°F and 2200°F) 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)firing temperature.
B)the new material.
C)tiles.
D)flexural strength.
E)firing time.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

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