In a study conducted to examine the quality of fish after 7 days in ice​ storage, ten raw fish of the same kind and approximately the same size were caught and prepared for ice storage. The fish were placed in ice storage at different times after being caught. A measure of fish quality was given to each fish after 7 days in ice storage. The sample data are shown​ below, where​ "Time" is the number of hours after being caught that the fish was placed in ice storage and​ "Fish Quality" is the measure given to each fish after 7 days in ice storage​ (higher numbers mean better​ quality). Which variable would be considered the response​ variable?   Fish Time: 0  0  2  3  5  6  7  9  11  12 Fish Quality 8.5  8.4  8.0  8.1  7.8  7.6  7.3  7.0  6.8  6.7     Choose the correct answer below.
