Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A specific amount or category of the independent variable is called a condition. This is because a condition is a specific situation created by manipulating the independent variable, under which the participants' scores on some other variable are measured. The independent variable is the variable being manipulated and tested in an experiment, while the dependent variable is the variable being measured and affected by the independent variable. A statistic refers to a numerical summary of data, and is not related to the conditions of an experiment.
