Zamar loves baking, and he wants to investigate how different temperatures will affect proofing time. He makes three batches of dough using the same recipe. The first batch proofs at 70 degrees, the second batch proofs at 85 degrees, and the third batch proofs at 110 degrees. He then records the amount of time it took for each batch of dough to double in volume. What is the response variable of Zamar’s experiment?(1 point)

Responses

a. The different temperature used to proof each batch of dough.

b. The recipe Zamar uses to make his dough batches.

c. The amount of time it took for the dough to double in volume.

d. The three dough batches.

Which one is the correct answer and explain why it is the correct answer.

GPT 3.5 · Accepted Answer

c. The amount of time it took for the dough to double in volume.

This is the correct answer because the response variable is the outcome or result being measured in an experiment. In this case, Zamar is investigating how different temperatures affect proofing time, so the amount of time it takes for the dough to double in volume is the key response variable that he is focusing on to determine the impact of temperature on the proofing process.
