Questions and Answers

What is the definition of an independent variable?

  • Variables you manipulate to affect the outcome of an experiment (correct)
  • Variables that represent the outcome of the experiment
  • Variables that are randomly assigned to treatment groups
  • Variables that are held constant throughout the experiment
  • What is the purpose of the local control in an experiment?

  • To randomly assign subjects to treatment groups
  • To ensure the control group receives no treatment
  • To balance, group, and block experimental units so they are relatively homogeneous (correct)
  • To replicate the experiment under controlled conditions
  • What is the key difference between a treatment group and a control group in an experiment?

  • The treatment group is replicated, while the control group is not
  • The treatment group is assigned randomly, while the control group is not
  • The treatment group has varying characteristics, while the control group does not
  • The treatment group receives the experimental treatment, while the control group receives no treatment (correct)
  • What is the purpose of replication in an experiment?
