Answer 1

The confounding variable in mike's experiment is "gender of campers".

A confounding variable is an outside impact that alters the impact of a dependent and independent variable. This incidental impact is utilized to impact the result of a trial design. For instance, in the event that you are examining whether absence of activity prompts weight pick up, absence of activity is your independent variable and weight pick up is your dependent variable. Confounding variables are any other variable that likewise affect your dependent variable.
