Experimental Design Flashcards
Variable affected by the change of the independent variable
Dependent
An independent variable is usually qualitative or quantitative?
Quantitative
The independent variable would go on which axis?
X axis
The variable the researcher changes
Independent
Standard to which comparisons are made
Control group
Experimental group
the group that gets compared to the control group to see any differences in the experiment.
If you were to test which fertilizer worked better for your plant’s growth, what would be the dependent variable
the plants growth
If you were to test which fertilizer worked better for your plant’s growth, what would be the control group?
The group where constant variables are applied, such as, the plant type, the soil type, how much water the plant gets, etc.
Fertilizer B works better than fertilizer A for my kalanchoe. What is this sentence called?
A hypothesis
Variable
Something that changes.
What’s the relationship between independent and dependent.
dependent relies on independent
Constant variables are usually in which group?
Control group
Dependent variables are in which group?
Both experimental and control groups.
Fertilizer B works better than fertilizer A for my kalanchoe. If i changed the locations of the plants, would this change the experiment at all?
Yes, it would add another independent variable and a bias.
