All test pilots were put through a simulated emergency landing procedure, but were randomly assigned to the visual, or visual and auditory conditions. Flight experts rated each pilot's performance in the simulator on a scale of 1 (very poor) to 10 (excellent). 9. Independent variable: 10. Dependent variable

A)College students given speed reading test

Independent variable - It is a variable which is unaffected by the variations on the other variable. In this money is the independent variable.

Dependant variable- Variable which varies as per the other variable. In this performance of the students is the dependant variable.

Experimental group - A group which receives the variable being tested. In this, the group which receives money is the experimental group, as it is being experimented whether money influences performance or not.

Control group- Group which is free of the variable being tested is the control group. The group of college students which does not receive any money for the reading is the control group here.
