What is the difference between a manipulated variable and a responding variable in a controlled experiment?
A variable is something which can change, that is have different values.
The proper scientific terms for these are: Dependent and Independent variable. The independent variable is the thing that you vary during an experiment. The dependent variable is what changes as a result of that manipulation.
A manipulated variable is the variable which you deliberately alter the value of. So, you will know the values of this variable before you do the experiment. This variable is also called the independent variable.
A responding variable is the variable which you have to measure to get your results. So, you do not know the values of this variable until you measure it. This is also called the dependent variable.
For example, to find out if your heart rate depends on exercise, you could do different amounts of exercise (the manipulated variable) and measure the heart rate (the responding variable).
The above answer is well written, so I will just add a couple of examples.
The standard linear equation is defined as 'y = mx + b'. y = 4x + 10, for example, could be charted on a Cartesian coordinates graph as a straight line that has a slope of 4 and a y-intercept of 10. In such linear equations, x would be described as the manipulated, or independent variable, while y would be the responding, or dependent variable.
In another example suppose you are traveling in a car at 50 miles per hour. How far would you go if you traveled three hours? In this example, x would be the number of hours traveled, and y would be the total distance traveled in miles. The equation would be y = 50x. In this equation, x is the independent variable, and y is the dependent variable. By substituting 3 for x (because the question asked how far would you go in three hours), we can calculate that you would travel 150 miles. So the distance you travel (y) depends upon how long you traveled (x).
What else can I help you with?
Define manipulated responding and controlled variables?
the controlled variables are the factors that are kept constant during an experiment. if they are not kept constant then they may affect the outcome of the experiment. the manipulated variable is the factor that is different between the experiment and the control. the responding variable is the variable that is being measured in the experiment.
What is the difference between a manipulated verible and a responding variable?
A manipulative variable is the variable you can alter, while the responding variable is the variable you have no control over. A manipulated variable is what is changed purposely throughout the experiment. The responding variable is which you have to measure to get your results I think. But the responding variable depends on the dependent variable. I believe I'm right!
What is THE variable parameter that changes a resut of changes to the manipulated or independent variable in experiment?
responding variable
What is the relationship between a manipulated and a responding variable?
That is the point of doing the experiment. You are trying to find out if there is any relationship at all.
Is the responding variable the variable that is changed during an experiment?
it is the variable that is changed by the manipulated variable, which is to purposely change a variable to see if it has any affect. the part that has effect is the responding variable
What are 3 controlled variables?
i think is manipulated, controlled, and responding ...
Define manipulated responding and controlled variables?
the controlled variables are the factors that are kept constant during an experiment. if they are not kept constant then they may affect the outcome of the experiment. the manipulated variable is the factor that is different between the experiment and the control. the responding variable is the variable that is being measured in the experiment.
How are controlled experiments used?
A controlled experiment is useful to examine the relationship between a manipulated variable and a responding variable.
What would be the manipulated responding and controlled variables in this experiment?
The experiment consisted of copper pennies, 5 small beakers, and dropper bottles of: dish soap, water, ethanol, and baby oil. We had to drop these liquids onto pennies and see which could hold the most. So, what would be the manipulated, responding, and controlled variables in this experiment?
How can an experiment that disproves hypothesis be useful?
by the variables. The variables are manipulated and responding. the manipulated ones are the one that is changed in the experiment. the responding variable is the one who is expected to change.
How can AN EXPERIMENT that disproves a hypothesis be used?
by the variables. The variables are manipulated and responding. the manipulated ones are the one that is changed in the experiment. the responding variable is the one who is expected to change.
In redi's experiment what were the manipulated variable and the responding variable?
The covered jar was the manipulated variable and the responding variable was the result: No maggots.
Where is the manipulated variable plotted?
The manipulated variable is typically plotted on the x-axis of a graph. This variable is the one that is deliberately changed or controlled by the researcher in an experiment to observe its effect on the responding variable.
What is the role of responding variable in a controlled experiment?
it is basically asking what the definition of responding variable is and the book says, The variable that changes because of the manipulated variable is the responding variable.
What are the 3 variables in science?
dependent variable; this is the factor in a experiment that when manipulated by independent variables it changes. it is also known as a controlled variable independent variables or manipulated variable; the factor in a experiment that is deliberately manipulated responding variable; the factor you have to measure to get the results or you will not know the value of the variable
3 types of variables?
controlled,manipulated,responding variables
What is the antonym for responding variable?
"Controlled Variable" or "Manipulated Variable"
