A carefully controlled artificial situation that allows researchers to isolate hypothesized causes and measure their effects precisely is called an experiment. A random sample is a selection of individuals from a larger population chosen in a random manner, while a population is the entire group of individuals that researchers are interested in studying. A sample is a subset of a population used to represent the larger group, and a variable is a characteristic or attribute that can change or take on different values.
