Question 0

Define: Dependant variable

Answer 0

Measured value. Variable which is measured for every change in IV

Question 1

Define: Anomalous Data

Answer 1

Falls outside normal range

More repeats =+easy to identify

Question 2

Define: Independent variable

Answer 2

Changed variable

Question 3

Define: Control/Confounding variable

Answer 3

These may affect results as well as IV

Must be kept constant/monitored to ensure FT

Question 6

Accurate

Answer 6

Results are close to TV

Question 7

Valid

Answer 7

IV has affected results only
NOT valid - flawed invs, control v changed also
Valid conc: supported by valid, reliable data

Question 8

Reliable

Answer 8

Repeated & achieve same results

+ repeats + reliable

Question 9

Correlation

Answer 9

Relationship b/w 2 variables

Question 10

TV

Answer 10

Accurate value

Question 11
