Dr. Doodley hypothesized that fast music would enhance people’s work performance. To test her hypothesis, she chose two different secretarial pools and chose to control what speed of music they would be working with, making that the independent variable, while the dependent variable is the performance of the groups based on the type of music they listened to while working. Based on the experiment’s purpose, the experimental group is the pool exposed to fast music. In which case, the control group would be the pool exposed to slow music.
