The city of Los Angeles wants to know if there is a connection between physical fitness and air pollution. Fifty volunteers from the mayor’s office agree to be tested. First, they are asked to ride a stationary bike for 1 hour in a pollution‐free air chamber. A week later, the 50 volunteers return and are again asked to ride a stationary bike for 1 hour in a chamber filled with air pollutants common to Los Angeles. Their heart rates are monitored throughout the 1 hour bike rides. a. Name the control group: _________________________________________________________ b. Name the experimental group: ____________________________________________________ c. Name the independent variable: ___________________________________________________ d. Name the dependent variable: ____________________________________________________ 13. If you were to create a graph for the above scenario, what type of graph would you create? _________ a. Explain: _______________________________________________________________________ b. How would you label/title the “Y” axis? _____________________________________________ c. How would you label/title the “X” axis? _____________________________________________
