Questions and Answers

What is the role of the independent variable in an experiment?

It is the variable that is changed by the experimenter. (correct)

It is the variable that remains constant during the experiment.

It is the variable that is not exposed to the experimental group.

It is the variable that is measured during the experiment.

Which statement accurately describes the dependent variable?

It is a variable maintained constant throughout the experiment.

It is measured to assess the impact of changes in the independent variable. (correct)

It is the variable that is exposed to the independent variable.

It is the same as the controlled variables in the study.

What is a control group in an experimental design?

The group where all controlled variables are intentionally altered.

The group that is not exposed to the independent variable. (correct)

The group that receives the maximum dose of the independent variable.

The group that is equally exposed to all variables during the study.

Study Notes

Key Concepts in Experimental Design

Independent Variable: This is the variable that is deliberately altered in an experiment to observe its effect on other variables.
Dependent Variable: This variable is what is measured during the experiment, reflecting the response or effect caused by changes in the independent variable.
Controlled Variables: These are the factors that are kept constant throughout the experiment to ensure that any observed changes in the dependent variable are solely due to the independent variable.
Control Group: A baseline group that does not receive the experimental treatment or independent variable, serving as a comparison point for the experimental group.
Experimental Group: This group is subjected to the independent variable, allowing researchers to compare outcomes against the control group to assess the effects of the independent variable.
