Use the research scenario below to answer the following questions. A researcher is interested in whether the extract of truffles (a type of fungus with interesting chemical properties) can increase fertility. It is known that female pigs are extremely attracted to the smell, which appears to mimic a sex pheromone, although the exact mechanism is unknown. The researcher took 1000 women of child-bearing age and randomly selected 500 to go into the treatment group, which consumed 1000 mg of truffle extract in pill form daily. The control group received a placebo. After two years, the treatment group had a 440% increase in successful pregnancies compared to the placebo group. Oddly, the placebo group had a 230% increase in successful pregnancies compared to the national average. What is the independent variable?
