Blocking is a technique (procedure) that is used in biological / agricultural field experiments to arrange experimental units in groups or blocks that are similar to one another. It is an attemp to improve comparisons of treatments.
Blocking will reduce the source of variability and increase precision (and may be accuracy)
The theoritical basis of blocking is represented b the following mathematical results. Given X and Y are random variables
VAR(X-Y)=VAR(X)+VAR (Y)-2 COV(X,Y)

It is a qualitative variable.
When referring to statistics, variable means that numbers change and can go up and down. If something is constant, numbers remain unchanged.
In statistics, letter such as; a,..x..,z, is a variable used to represent an unknown value.
It can be though more often it is a variable on the interval scale (when looking for trends over time).
in statistics, summation denoted by upper case sigma, is used to find the sum of a series of observation in a particular variable.
It is a qualitative variable.
manipulated variable is in the Statistics, Mathematics, Analysis subject.manipulated variable is in the Statistics, Mathematics, Analysis subject.
inferential statistics
No it is qualitative
When referring to statistics, variable means that numbers change and can go up and down. If something is constant, numbers remain unchanged.
In statistics, letter such as; a,..x..,z, is a variable used to represent an unknown value.
A factor in statistics can be defined as a variable which will affect the results of an experiment. This is mainly an aspect which is independent.
The distribution for a variable is the set of value that the variable can take and the probabilities associated with those value.
Independent Variable: interleukin and fatigue Dependent Variable: the relationship -----inferential statistics
It depends on whether fx denotes frequency times variable value or the probability generating function for the variable x.
It is a categorical variable such as a subject's gender or race which are not experimental conditions but are still included into the statistical analysis as a mean of statistical control.
The cost of a statistics textbook is a continuous variable, as it can take on any value within a certain range (e.g., $0 to $100) and can be divided into smaller increments (e.g., $10.50, $10.51, etc.).
