Answer 1

In your investigation of how sunlight can cause sunburn, the dependent variable is the severity of sunburn. This is because the severity of sunburn is expected to change as a result of variations in the intensity of sunlight, which is your independent variable.

To summarize:

- **Dependent Variable**: Severity of sunburn
- **Independent Variable**: Intensity of sunlight

The dependent variable depends on changes in the independent variable during your investigation.
