How do researchers determine which of the variables are dependent or independent?

The variable that you can manipulate in the experiment is always the independent variable. The quantity that changes as a result of your manipulation is the dependent variable.


The variables in an experiment that stay the same?

These "variables" are called independent variables or constant variables meaning that they are capable of being changed by the experimenter but are intentionally held the same through each individual experiment.


What is a situation specifically set up to investigate relationships between variables?

A situation specifically set up to investigate relationships between variables is typically referred to as an experiment or a research study. In such a scenario, researchers manipulate one or more independent variables to observe the effect on a dependent variable, while controlling for other factors that may influence the outcome. This allows for the establishment of correlations or causal relationships between the variables being studied. For example, a study might examine how varying levels of sunlight affect plant growth, controlling for water and soil type.


The difference between the independent and dependent variables?

Independent variables are variables that can be changed in an experiment, while dependent variables are variables that change as a result of an experiment. In other words, independent variables are what you change, and dependent variables are the results of the experiment.


What are the three types of variables?

The three types of variables are: Independent: it is the one that you manipulate Dependent: the one that reacts to the changes in the independent variable and is measured in a experiment Control: all the other factors that could affect the dependent variable but are kept constant through out an experiment

How you manipulate variables?

'Manipulating variables' means to change some of the portions of a specific formula that are open to change, and hence variable. Take: ( x + y ) = 5 You may discretionally change the variables x and y to anything from minus infinity to five and the equation will still be solvable. To do so would be to manipulate those variables.


What are variable the change called?

Variables that can change are called independent variables. These are the factors or conditions that researchers manipulate or observe to see how they affect other variables in an experiment or study.


Could the mathemical mdel be used to manipulate variables?

First, lets correct your grammar and spelling: "Could the mathematical model be used to manipulate variables?" The question, as stated, makes no sense, so you'll need to rephrase it and resubmit. A mathematical model simply means an equation used to describe some phenomenon. A good example would be Newton's 3rd law of motion, F=ma, Force equals mass times acceleration. That tells you how a body accelerates when subject to a force. Could you use F=ma (a mathematical model) to manipulate variables? Makes no sense. You manipulate(change) variables as you, the modeler, see fit. You could certainly manipulate the variables (F,m) in Newton's 3rd law to see how the motion changed.


What is experimental research method?

Experiments are studies involving intervention by the researcher beyond that required for measurement. the usual intervention is to manipulate some variable in a setting and observe how it effects the subject being studied.


What is a testable hypoyhesis?

A testable hypothesis is one where you can experimentally manipulate variables in order to determine the veracity of the hypothesis.


How do you manipulate variables?

What are variables that are not being studied called?

Independent Variables.


How can variables effect the outcome of an experiment?

Variables can affect the outcome of an experiment by introducing potential sources of bias or confounding factors that can influence the results. It is important to carefully control and manipulate variables in order to accurately determine their impact on the outcome of the experiment. Failure to properly account for variables can lead to unreliable or misleading conclusions.


How are constant variables different from independent variables?

Constants stays the same independent variables is the variable that is being manipulated
