What is a factor in a experiment that you measure to gather results?
It is a variable. The independent (manipulated) variable is the factor that is different between the control and experimental groups. The dependent variable is the difference resulting from the independent variable. The controlled variables are the factors that are not changed in the experiment between the control and experimental groups.
Factors that distort the way the independent variable affects the dependent variable are referred to as?
The factors that distort the way the independent variable affects the dependent variable are referred to as the double-blinds. The factors try to explore the relationship between the dependent and independent variables.
What are the diffrenses between independent and dependent variables?
Independent Variables: what is being manipulatedDependent Variables: what is the outcome of the manipulationFor example:A researcher wants to see if listening to classical music as a child affects intelligence for later in life.IV: Types of music; ClassicalDV: intelligence
What is the difference between independent variables and dependent variables?
The independent variable is the variable being manipulated in the experiment in order to show the effect on the dependent variable. It is also called the experimental variable.The dependent variable is the variable being observed in the experiment. Changes in the dependent variable as a result of changes in the independent variable are observed, which is the purpose of the experiment. Dependent variable is also called the response variable.
Two types of variable in science?
The two broad types of variables in scientific experimentation are dependent and independent variables. Independent variables are variables (ideally only one or very few) that the experimenter manipulates in the experiment. For example, if you were testing the effect of temperature on plant growth rates, you would likely have similar plants in similar conditions but in areas with different temperatures. The experimenter is changing the temperature between the groups of plants, so the temperature would be the independent variable. The dependent variables are the effects the independent variable has on the experimental subjects. They are changes not being directly controlled or manipulated by the experimenter. In the above temperature vs. plant growth example, the rate of plant growth would be the dependent variable; it depends on the temperature.
