What is a controlled expirement?

an experiment that can be controlled i did not know this That is not a good answer! A controlled experiment is: If you set up an experiment: Example: You have two plants. You want to know if fertilizing every day causes it to grow more. In your experiment everything has to be the same! Except one thing. You have to have the same type of dirt and pot and flower/vegetable. You have to water each of them every day. But, you fertilize ONE of them once a day until your results are clear to you, or when you want to stop testing. This way, you can see how the fertilizer effects the plant growth compared to just water every day. If you change more than one thing, like how much you water the plant, it is not a controlled experiment anymore. because then you won't know which variable (thing that you have changed) is taking effect. You wouldn't know if it was more water or the fertilizer, or both that is making the plant grow faster!


What is bernoulli's experiment?

The Bernoulli experiment is a trial that has two different outcomes, failure and success. The experiment can be used in flipping a coin or rolling a die.


What do you call an experiment with only one variable?

Well in the case that it does have a variable, even just one, it would still be a variable experiment because that one part of the experiment may still cause a different effect/result when changed!!!


What is measured or tested by the data in a experiment?

Define manipulated responding and controlled variables?

the controlled variables are the factors that are kept constant during an experiment. if they are not kept constant then they may affect the outcome of the experiment. the manipulated variable is the factor that is different between the experiment and the control. the responding variable is the variable that is being measured in the experiment.

What are the different kinds of variables?

The main ones you need to know on a basic level are categoric and continuous. Categoric ones you will display on a bar chart as they are fixed units. Eg plastic or a range of no.s lumped in togetherContinuous variables are shown on a line graph as they do not have a differentiating X value (category) into which you can separate themHope this helps a bitThe three different kids of science variables are independent, dependent, and controlled.a variable is something you change and there's a independent variable and a dependent variablein an experiment there are three variables: responding, controlled, and manipulated. manipulated is the variable that is changed by the guy who does the experiment. responding is the variable that changes due to the manipulated variable. the controlled variable is the variable that is controlled throughout the experiment. anyway im not sure if this is what you wanted to know

What is a non manipulated variable?

A manipulative or manipulated variable in an experiment is the variable that can be varied to give different results during the course of an experiment. For example to determine how much sugar will saturate a liter of water, we keep increasing the amount of sugar until the water becomes saturated. Here sugar is the manipulated variable. Very easy! At first, I was confused with it too!
