Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Experiments are used to isolate causes from effects. They involve manipulating one variable (independent variable) and observing the effect of that manipulation on another variable (dependent variable). This allows researchers to determine whether there is a causal relationship between the two variables. Other research methods such as case studies and surveys may provide valuable information but cannot establish causality. Random and representative samples are important in many types of research, but are not specific to experiments.
