Question

Anton just got his very first car, and he wants to find out how much using air conditioning while driving will affect the car’s gas mileage. He conducts an experiment in which he will drive with air conditioning off for the first full tank of gas. He will drive with the air conditioning on for the second full tank of gas. Then he compares the distance he can travel for each full tank of gas. Which of the following correctly identifies the treatment of Anton’s experiment?(1 point)
Responses

whether Anton drives the car on the freeway or local streets
whether Anton drives the car on the freeway or local streets

whether Anton has a full tank of gas before driving with the air conditioning on
whether Anton has a full tank of gas before driving with the air conditioning on

whether Anton drives the car with the air conditioning on or off
whether Anton drives the car with the air conditioning on or off

the difference in the car’s mileage between having the air conditioning on and off

Answer 1

The correct response that identifies the treatment of Anton's experiment is:

**whether Anton drives the car with the air conditioning on or off.**

This is because the treatment in his experiment directly relates to whether the air conditioning is used or not, which is what he is testing for its effect on gas mileage.
