Question

Determine whether the following statement is true or false. ​Generally, the goal of an experiment is to determine the effect that the treatment will have on the response variable.
Choose the correct answer below.

a) False
b) True

Answer 1

Answer: Ok, there are two types of variables, the independent and the dependents.

a dependent variable is one that changes in response to the independent variable.

In an experiment, yo usually have control over the independent variable, it may be the temperature on an oven, the intensity of an x-ray cannon, the time you let something heat under the sun, etc.

and the dependent variable will response to the independent variables in some way, so if you can observe how it changes you can understand te relationship between them, that is the goal of the experiment.

So it's true, yo want to know how the response variable "responds" to the treatment you apply.
