I am having trouble figuring out the variables for this problem. I know that the agar is an independent variable but I am not sure if the E. Coli is also an independent variable . Thank you . 

ii. Dependent variable(s): Size of goldfish population
iii.
Control variables: The type and amoumt of food, the maintenance of the
tanks, and the water temperature.
b. To determine if the type of agar affects bacterial growth, a scientist cultures E. coli
on four different types of agar. Five petri dishes are set up to collect results: one with
nutrient agar and E. coli, one with mannitol-salt agar and E. coli, one with
MacConkey agar and E. coli, one with LB agar and E. coli, one with nutrient agar
but NO E. coli. All of the petri dishes received the same volume of agar, and were
the same shape and size. During the experiment, the temperature at which the petri
dishes were stored, and at the air quality remained the same. After one week the
amount of bacterial growth was measured.
