Practice Exercise The University of Albany Agriculture Research team is concerned about the impact of rain accumulation on the productivity of New York State’s corn crop. Identify the management problem (i.e. dependent variable) and identify the independent variable. An independent variable precedes the dependent variable in time (Pammer, 2013). In the current case, the dependent variable is the productivity of corn crops. On the other hand, the independent variable is the rain accumulation. The state of New York has just changed one its toll roads from human collection of tolls to machine and EZ-PASS collection. The idea behind the change in collection was to allow traffic to flow more quickly through the toll plaza. Identify the management problem (i.e. dependent variable) and identify the independent variable. Next, offer a hypothesis of how the independent variable might impact the management problem (i.e., dependent variable). The dependent variable in the above case is the flow of the traffic. The independent variable is the nature of the collection of tolls, which can be either the machine and EZ-PASS or human types. Hypothesis: It…
