Find the dependent variable and independent variable. 1. A research study was conducted to examine the clinical efficacy of a new antidepressant. Depressed patients were randomly assigned to one of three groups: a placebo group, a group that received a low dose of the drug, and a group that received a moderate dose of the drug. After four weeks of treatment, the patients completed the Beck Depression Inventory. The higher the score, the more depressed the patient. The data are presented below. Compute the appropriate test. 2.Twelve cars were equipped with radial tires and driven over a test course.  Then the same 12 cars (with the same drivers) were equipped with regular belted tires and driven over the same course.  After each run, the cars’ gas economy (in km/l) was measured.  Is there evidence that radial tires produce better fuel economy? 3. Twenty participants were given a list of 20 words to process. The 20 participants were randomly assigned to one of two treatment conditions. Half were instructed to count the number of vowels in each word (shallow processing). Half were instructed to judge whether the object described by each word would be useful if one were stranded on a desert island (deep processing). After a brief distractor task, all subjects were given a surprise free recall task. The number of words correctly recalled was recorded for each subject. Here are the data:
