Dependent Variable: condition or factor that is observed and measured. It is caused to change by the IV.
3
Multiple Choice
What must a good question include?
controlled variable
control group
independent variaable
independent and dependent variables
4
HYPOTHESIS
Predicted Outcome to the experiment
must include both independent and dependent variables
written in "if... then" format
If the (IV) is changed this way, then the (DV) will be changed this way
5
Multiple Choice
What is a hypothesis?
educated gues
predicted outcome
variables which are kept the same
group to which no treatment has been given
6
Multiple Choice
What format is best for a hypothesis?
APA
