The outcome variable (dependent variable) in this experiment is the amount of time the hamster spent running in the wheel.
This is because the dependent variable is what is being measured or observed in response to changes in other variables—here, it is affected by the number of vitamins Juan gives the hamster. The other options (the hamster, the wheel, and the number of vitamins) are not the outcomes being measured but rather elements of the experiment.
