∙ 14y agoThe experimental variable (also know as the intendant variable) is the part of an experiment we change each time we repeat the test.
For example, if you were measuring the time it takes for a substance to react in different acids, the variable we would change would be the type of acid.
The control variable is a part of the experiment which basically gives you a value to compare your other results to.
Using the same example, you may do a test to see how long it takes for the substance to react in water. You could then compare this to the rest of your results for the reactions with the acids.
The example may not be the best, but it gives you the right idea...
Also the dependant variable is...like the name suggests...dependant on the independent variable.
The dependant variable in my example would be the time it takes for the substance to completely react with each acid

∙ 12y agoindependent variables are the variable in the experiment that are not changed; the dependent variable is dependent on the change, they are the variable that are experimented on. The experimental group is the one that is being tested on. the control group is used as a basis for what changes are taking place

What type of variable is an experimental control?
Independent variable
What is the difference between experimental variable and a control variable?
In a controlled experiment, the control variable remains constant while the experimental variable changes with each trial of the experiment.
What conditions must be met if you want to have a scientifically valid sample for a study?
You must have a control group, an experimental group, an experimental variable (also called the independent variable), and a response to be measured (also called the dependent variable). The experimental variable is applied only to the experimental group, so that any difference between the control group and experimental group is due only to the experimental variable. Both the control group and experimental group must have the same conditions, except for the experimental variable.
In an experiment the group that is exposed to the variable to be tested is called the?
control group
In an experimental design the variable the researcher has control over and that is different for the treatment and control groups is called the?
Explanatory variable apex
What type of variable is an experimental control?
Independent variable
What type variable is an experimental control?
Independent variable
What is the difference between experimental variable and a control variable?
In a controlled experiment, the control variable remains constant while the experimental variable changes with each trial of the experiment.
What is the difference between an experimental variable and a control variable?
In a controlled experiment, the control variable remains constant while the experimental variable changes with each trial of the experiment.
What is the difference between control and experimental variables?
Control Variable = kept in constant in a experiment Experimental Variable = changes in a experiment
Why is a control group important to have in a experiment?
A control group is the standard of comparison between what happens with the experimental variable and without the experimental variable.
What conditions must be met if you want to have a scientifically valid sample for a study?
You must have a control group, an experimental group, an experimental variable (also called the independent variable), and a response to be measured (also called the dependent variable). The experimental variable is applied only to the experimental group, so that any difference between the control group and experimental group is due only to the experimental variable. Both the control group and experimental group must have the same conditions, except for the experimental variable.
What do you call an experimental setup in which the experimental variable is missing?
control setup
Which term describes a type of independent variable used to compare differences in dependent varables?
experimental control
Why is experimental control needed in experiments?
The experimental control is what you compare your experimental data with. Without the control, you can't tell if the variable you are testing is what is causing your results.
In an experiment the group that is exposed to the variable to be tested is called the?
control group
What is the difference between the independent variable and the experimental variable?
the independent variable is changed, and the experimental value measure. So you control the independent variable and change it to measure the results
