A researcher hypothesizes that a new club can improve a person's golf score. Which of these would most likely be the dependent variable in a study involving this golf club? A. the number of participants in the study B. the golf scores of the participants in the study C. the ages of people who golf with other golf clubs D. the number of people who buy other kinds of golf clubs

The answer is B. To find this, you need to know what a dependent variable is. A dependent variable is something that has changed due to the result of an independent variable. An independent variable is something that is being changed in an experiment. So in other words, the dependent variable is the result of what is being changed in the experiment. They will change the club of the participants (independent variable) and will see if this changes their score (dependent variable).
