However, it is also worth noting that whilst this is the main aim of the experiment, the tutor may also be interested to know if the independent variables - revision time and IQ - are also connected in some way.
Basically, a variable is any factor that can be controlled, changed, or measured in an experiment.Scientific experimentshave several types of variables. The independent anddependent variablesare the ones usually plotted on a chart or graph, but there are other types of variables you may encounter....
See an exampleParts of the experiment: Independent vs dependent variablesExperiments are usually designed to find out what effect one variable has on another – in our example, the effect of salt addition on plant growth.You manipulate the independent variable (the one you think might be the cau...
Variables are anything that can change or be changed within an experiment. Scientists will use variables to ensure they can pinpoint the cause of their experimental results. By manipulating variables, scientists are able to create controlled and valid experiments. A researcher conducting a chemistry ...

Most of the indices that measure diversity depend on variables that have various statistical types (e.g. circular, fuzzy, ordinal) and that go through a matrix...
Way ANOVA, there are two independents. Use a two way ANOVA when you have onemeasurement variable(i.e. aquantitative variable) and twonominal variables. In other words, if your experiment has a quantitative outcome and you have two categoricalexplanatory variables, a two way ANOVA is ...
