independent and dependent variables
Independent variables are the factors or conditions that are manipulated or changed by the researcher in an experiment. They are the causes or inputs that are under the control of the experimenter. Dependent variables, on the other hand, are the outcomes or responses that are measured or observed in an experiment. They are the effects or outputs that depend on the independent variables and are influenced by their variations.
