- You are starting a dairy farm and have read that dairy cows make more milk when they are relaxed. Since your mother listens to classical music to relax, you wonder whether cows listening to classical music would make more milk. You have 40 cows.

Then Identify the explanatory variable, the response variable, and the controlled variable in your study. And, finally, make a prediction and explain how you would interpret your results.arrow_forwardHow does the semi-permeable nature of the cell membrane maintain homeostasis ? A.
