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. You decide to test the hypothesis that playing classical music will make cows produce more milk. Briefly summarize how you will design a controlled experiment to test your hypothesis. 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_forward
