- Squirrels can be pests at bird feeders, stealing seeds away from the intended guests. The graph below shows the results of an experiment testing a new product "Squirrel Away." On Day 1, "Squirrel-Away" was sprayed near one bird feeder. An area around a second bird feeder in a different area was NOT sprayed with "Squirrel Away." Both bird feeders contained the same seeds. The Effect of "Squirrel Away" on the Number of Squirrles at Two Bird Feeders 10 Without Squirrel Away WITH Squirrel-Away What was the independent variable in the experiment above? Average number of squirrels at the bird feeder per day Average number of birds at the bird feeder per day O Presence or absence of Squirrel Away Distance from the bird feeder that Squirrel Away was sprayed The type of seeds added to the bird feeder 9, 4. 2. at the Bird Feeder Per Day Average Number of Squirrelsarrow_forwardWhat do you call a sample that goes through all the steps of an experiment but is not exposed to the experimental variable? control group dependent variable independent variable all variables/groups are exposed to the experimental variablearrow_forward"eating is an agricultural act" and "how we eat determines how the world is used."
