From the diagram:
1. Is A responding variable?
2. Is B manipulated variable?
3. Is C controlled variable OR constant?
* This diagram all I'm given for this question; there is no clarifications on what A,B,C are pointing to...
Consider the variables: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H.
A and B, B and C, C and D are directly related while D and E, E and F, F and G, and G and H are inversely related. If an initial increase occurs in the value of A, the value of H will
a. decrease
b. increase
c. stay the same
d. cannot predict from the given information
Dr. Vanier’s daughter Lexy thinks that the snacking habit alone does not cause weight loss. She believes that one needs to combine no snacking with the elimination of carbohydrates in their meals.
Please explain how Dr. Vanier may test this hypothesis by describing the research design.
Specify the independent variable(s), dependent variable(s), and the name of the design.
Finally, describe what she needs to find (i.e., what type of effect and what it looks like) in the experiment to support her hypothesis.
( name the IV(s); 1name the DV(s); name the design; then explain the effect that will support the hypothesis)

She collects tadpoles from pools and dissects them to determine the length of their gut and their diet. This study is….

- Variables are used not only in research and studies but are also often used in everyday life. Knowing the difference in variables can help you make life decisions. There are several different types of variables but the two main ones are independent variables and dependent variables. why are independent variables so important?arrow_forwardThe purpose of the constant is to: a. allow for adjustment of the control b. eliminate other potential factors/variables in the experiment c. allow for the dependent variable to show the necessary outcome d. help prove the hypothesis correctarrow_forwardIn experimental design, researchers often (but not always) will include 2 types of controls. These are known as the ___________ and ___________ controls, which show constitutive affirmative and negating result respectively.arrow_forward
- What variable is the one that you can manipulate or change? It is sometimes called experimental variablearrow_forwardA business researcher is hired by a specialty retail firm. The retailer is trying to decide what level of lighting and what temperature they should maintain in its stores to maximize sales. Identify the independent variable and dependent variable in this case. How would the independent variable be manipulated to measure differences across the dependent variable. Include details about the experimental design including the experimental groups.arrow_forwardWhy the results of the Swan-neck flask experiment were reliable ?: Select one: a. Because it maintained no controls at all b. Because proper controls were maintained and only one variable changed at a time c. Because many controls were maintained d. Because it was repeatedly done by several scientists e. Because it tested all variables at the same timearrow_forward
