The dependent variable would be blood pressure. The independent variable would be age. Of course, there are many factors, other than just age, which determine blood pressure.

Is blood pressure a qualitative variable?

No because it is numerical and so therefore it is quantitative


Can hypertension be a qualitative variable?

Yes. You need to define a level of blood pressure which would allow you to classify the patient as hypertensive or not according to whether their blood pressure was above or below that value. You will then have a binary qualitative variable. The classification may need to be bivariate: systolic and diastolic, but that does not change the argument.


What is systalic and diastalic?

Systolic and diastolic refer to the two phases of blood pressure in the cardiovascular system. Systolic pressure is the force of blood against the artery walls when the heart beats and pumps blood, while diastolic pressure is the force during the resting phase between heartbeats when the heart fills with blood. Blood pressure is typically expressed as systolic over diastolic, such as 120/80 mmHg. These measurements are crucial for assessing cardiovascular health.


What is the difference between the maximum and minimum pressure in the aorta?

The difference between the maximum and minimum pressure in the aorta is known as the pulse pressure. During the cardiac cycle, systolic pressure (maximum) occurs when the heart contracts and pumps blood into the aorta, while diastolic pressure (minimum) occurs when the heart is at rest between beats. Normally, the pulse pressure in a healthy adult is about 40 mmHg, representing the force that drives blood through the circulatory system. This difference can vary based on factors like age, health, and physical condition.


How do you calculate the mean arterial pressure?

[Systolic Blood Pressure+(2 x Diastolic Blood Pressure)]/3

Is testing a group of 10 volunteers' blood pressure before and after exercise an example of an independent or dependent sample?

What you have written is the test...an independent variable may be something like the type/length of exercise, the dependant variable in this case is the blood pressure.

On which factors is the volume of blood is dependent on?

The volume of blood is dependent on how fast our heart beats. A term called blood pressure is used to determine the pressure at which the heart pumps the blood.


What might be the dependent variable in Shannon lucids experiment?

The dependent variable in Shannon Lucid's experiment could be her cognitive performance or physical health measures, such as reaction time, memory recall, or physiological markers like heart rate or blood pressure. These variables would be influenced by the conditions of the experiment and possibly the effects of space travel on the human body.


Is blood pressure a discrete variable?

No. Because blood pressure is continuous variable. Like temperature, a person's weight and height, the measured value occurs over a continuous scale.


Can emotional state influence blood pressure?

Yes. Blood pressure is dependent on emotional state. Both happy and angry emotional state can trigger blood pressure.
