The outcome variable in this experiment is the time required to finish the maze. This variable represents the outcome that the student is measuring to see how it is affected by the different conditions (whether the rabbit has eaten or not).
A student records the time it takes for her pet rabbit to make it through a maze to a carrot. In one test, she has the rabbit try to find the carrot at 8:00 AM after eating its first meal of the day. In the other test, the rabbit tries to find the carrot at 8:00 AM without having eaten its first meal of the day.
