'Manipulating variables' means to change some of the portions of a specific formula that are open to change, and hence variable. Take: ( x + y ) = 5 You may discretionally change the variables x and y to anything from minus infinity to five and the equation will still be solvable. To do so would be to manipulate those variables.
rearrange an equation with several variables until you get some desired form
EG: F = ma --- solve for m. m = F/a

Experiments are studies involving intervention by the researcher beyond that required for measurement. the usual intervention is to manipulate some variable in a setting and observe how it effects the subject being studied.
Experiments can be used to test a hypothesis. For example, an ecologist may set up an artificial environment in a lab to imitate and manipulate conditions that organisms would encounter in the real world. Scientists use experiments to manipulate variables until they find the answer to their question. This is all part of the scientific inquiry.
A factor in an experiment that can change is called a variable. Variables are used in experiments to test a hypothesis, and someone will manipulate the variable, while keeping something else the same, a control, in order to see how the variables react in comparison with a control.
In an experiment, the condition manipulated by a biologist is known as the independent variable. The condition that changes based upon how the independent variable was manipulated is known as the dependent variable.
To manipulate a variable means to change it.
It is a spreadsheet application and mainly deals with numbers, but it has databasing capabilities and can manipulate strings.

A variable in an experiment can be manipulated by changing some aspect of the experiment.
First, lets correct your grammar and spelling: "Could the mathematical model be used to manipulate variables?" The question, as stated, makes no sense, so you'll need to rephrase it and resubmit. A mathematical model simply means an equation used to describe some phenomenon. A good example would be Newton's 3rd law of motion, F=ma, Force equals mass times acceleration. That tells you how a body accelerates when subject to a force. Could you use F=ma (a mathematical model) to manipulate variables? Makes no sense. You manipulate(change) variables as you, the modeler, see fit. You could certainly manipulate the variables (F,m) in Newton's 3rd law to see how the motion changed.
A testable hypothesis is one where you can experimentally manipulate variables in order to determine the veracity of the hypothesis.
Humanistic paradigm would be least likely to manipulate independent variables as it focuses on personal growth, self-awareness, and individual experiences. Humanistic approach emphasizes the uniqueness of each individual and does not involve controlling or manipulating external factors in experiments.

The variable that you can manipulate in the experiment is always the independent variable. The quantity that changes as a result of your manipulation is the dependent variable.
Experiments are studies involving intervention by the researcher beyond that required for measurement. the usual intervention is to manipulate some variable in a setting and observe how it effects the subject being studied.
Independent variables are variables that can be changed in an experiment, while dependent variables are variables that change as a result of an experiment. In other words, independent variables are what you change, and dependent variables are the results of the experiment.
