O Shape O Spread O Center O skewness A study was conducted using growing rats to examine the effect of jumping height on the strength of bones. Thirty rats were randomly allocated into groups. The first group of rats did low jumps of 30 cm. And the second group of rats did high jumps of 60 cm. After 8 weeks of 10 jumps per day, 5 days per week, the bone density of the rats was measured in mg/cm3. What is the explanatory variable? O Growing rats O Height of jump O Bone density as measured in mg/cubic cm. O Age of rat.
