Solution

Solution Steps

It seems the provided text does not contain a clear math question. Please provide a specific math problem for me to help you with.### Step 1: Identify the Type of Variable The question asks us to identify the type of variable that is exemplified by a participant receiving news about a family member being in the hospital right before a research session.

Step 2: Understand the Context

In the context of an experiment, different types of variables include:

Independent Variable: The variable that is manipulated by the researcher.
Dependent Variable: The variable that is measured to see if it is affected by the independent variable.
Confounding Variable: An external variable that can affect the results of the experiment, making it difficult to determine the true relationship between the independent and dependent variables.
Control Variable: Variables that are kept constant to prevent them from influencing the outcome.

Step 3: Determine the Correct Variable

The news about a family member being in the hospital is an external factor that could influence the participant's stress level, which is not controlled by the researcher. This makes it a confounding variable.
