Researchers want to investigate whether people feel happier after exercising outside or exercising inside. 400 adults who already exercise regularly are randomly chosen to participate in the study. They are divided randomly into two groups. Once group is asked to exercise inside at least five times per week, while the other group is asked to exercise outside at least five times a week. All participants are asked to rate their happiness on a scale of 1-10 at the end of each exercise session. At the end of the study, researchers compare the average happiness ratings of the outside group to the happiness ratings of the inside group. What is the treatment in this experiment?

In the described experiment:
1. Treatment: The treatment in this experiment is exercising inside or exercising outside. This is the factor that the researchers are manipulating to see its effect on happiness levels.
2. Response Variable: The response variable in the experiment is the Happiness Rating. This is what the researchers are measuring to evaluate the impact of the treatment (the type of exercise environment) on participants' happiness.
