confounding variables are outside things that can effect results. example: examining the relationship between fish growth and food, salinity, and temperature all in the same tank. can't tell what's making the fish grow, can ya?\n\nexperiments reduce variability by controlling the environment more thoroughly.\ntake a statistics class, that helps with bio

I hate to be the one to point out the obvious here, but it is where you take a measurement, and then you repeat it.\n\nIs this some sort of trick question? Or are you perhaps confusing a repeated measures ANOVA?

An example of a third variable can be seen in the following  scenario:\n\nA correlation study between warm parenting and better adjusted children.\n\nWarm parenting = variable X\nWell adjusted child = Variable Y\n\nDoes X cause Y?\nDoes Y cause X?\n\nA third variable problem occurs when there is a possibilty that neither variable X or Y have a casual effect on the other and that they are in fact a result of a third variable (variable Z). Variable Z could be any number of things that influences both variable X and Y. An example of this could be a genetic predisposition that causes a parent to be warmer in a nature or a child to be better adjusted.\n\nPut into simple terms the "third variable problem" is when Z is responsible for what looks like a relation between X and Y.

Say---you could hurt someones brain with a question like that. ROTF-----Good luck hope you can find the real answer. seems like an unknown value without some kind of meter.

What type of experiment.  Is it an experiment to see how many people reply with stupid answers?  Is it an experiment to see just how many people reply?  Or is it an experiment to see who has the best answer?  Pick mine!

What is the experiment?\n\nWhat were ALL the reagents?\n\nAs it stands, your question is unanswerable; it is like me asking you what is on my kitchen table.

Probably a t-test. \n\nTell us what hypothesis you are testing.

The question is too open. What experiment are you talking about? If you google science supplies you might find out, although since it's homework most people won't just give you an answer.

An independent variable is the variable that does not depend on anything, like time.  \n\nThe dependent variable depends on the independent variable.\n\nHere is an example... You want to measure how irritated you get from being around your little brother as a function of time.  Time passes, regardless or your irritability.  But the more time passes, your irritability changes.  So your irritability is dependent on the independent factor of time.\n\nThe control is something that you use to measure experimental values by.  Suppose you are not sure that it is your brother making you irritable... maybe you just become irritable because you are part of the experiment.  So, one day, we measure your irritability as a function of time without your brother.  This is the control.  That way when we measure your irritability with your brother around, we can see how these two differed.\n\nFinally, the constant is something that doesn't change.  Maybe your brother is twice as irritable as your sister.  In this case, irritability is being multiplied by a constant.  Maybe ritalin makes your brother less iritable by a constant amount.  Maybe simply being in the room with your brother, even while he is sleeping, increases your irritability by a certain, constant, amount.

value of the function y=f(x) is dictated by the value of the variable and the nature of the function

The "variables" are the things in the experiment you are testing.  If you wanted to see if the rate of polar bear births increased when the sale of ice cream increased in Georgia (btw, it does), then the variables would be polar bear births and ice cream sales in Georgia.\n\nYou should note that just because the values of your variables change, does not mean that a cause and effect relationship exists.  As in the example above, just because more polar bears are born in years where ice cream sales in Georgia are high, does not mean that Georgia can make polar bears have more babies just by buying more ice cream.

often it refers to the controllable factors. It could mean that other possible influences on the research have been accounted for.

the degree of the variable is it's power like : A to the power 3\nthen A is a third degree variable....\n                                                                                         bye :)

I'm guessing that you are trying to graph some cell division data and are trying to figure out which variable is the independent (x axis) and dependent (y axis) variables. Let's first start with the a rule of thumb for you: I'm assuming your graphing cell divisions over time. Anytime you are graphing something over time, time is almost always the independent variable.\n\nIt is the same in this case also. The number of cells is the dependent variable. (The number of cells present is dependent on how much time has passed).

I think your question have a typo.  There are three variables and I am not sure which one are you trying to solve for.

the larger the size, the greater the surface area, the greater the reaction rate.\n\nsize is the independent variable, the rate of the reaction depends on the size, so rate is the dependent variable
