Read the following experiment and then answer the questions
that follow.
Mr. Krabs created a secret ingredient for a breath mint that he
thinks will “cure” the bad breath people get from eating crabby
patties at the Krusty Krab. He asked 100 customers with a history
of bad breath to try his new breath mint. He had fifty customers
(Group A) eat a breath mint after they finished eating a crabby
patty. The other fifty (Group B) also received a breath mint after
they finished the sandwich, however, it was just a regular breath
mint and did not have the secret ingredient. Both groups were
told that they were getting the breath mint that would cure their
bad breath. Two hours after eating the crabby patties, thirty
customers in Group A and ten customers in Group B reported
having better breath than they normally had after eating crabby
patties.
Questions: What is the independent variable? Dependent?
Controlled variables?

• Independent: Mr. Krab’s secret breath mint
ingredient
• Dependent: If the person’s breath improves
• Controlled: Same history of bad breath, ate the
same food, same amount of time, etc.
