The teacher was curious to see if free homework coupons would influence the number of bonus questions each student answered correctly on the chapter test. Half of the students were offered a homework coupon for each bonus question they answered correctly on the test and the other half were not offered a homework coupon at all' a) What is the independent Variable? b) What is the dependent variable?
