Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A variable is any factor or attribute that can be measured or manipulated in a scientific study. This includes independent variables, dependent variables, and control variables. Descriptive statistics refer to summaries of data, while data itself can include both variables and descriptive statistics. A confound is a factor that could influence study outcomes but is not accounted for in the experimental design.
