The difference between these both is that the control is what stays the same in an experiment and the variable is what changes.
establish a control group identical to the experimental group except for the variable being tested
Ah, the independent variable is typically found on the left side of a data table. It's the variable that you can control or manipulate to see how it affects the dependent variable. Just remember, like a happy little tree, the independent variable helps guide the direction of your experiment.
Statistical inference is about testing hypotheses. In order to test a hypothesis, you make a prediction about the observations, contrasting the prediction with what might happen if the hypothesis were not true. The prediction is tested against the observations by calculating a test statistic or inferential statistic. This is a value which is based purely on the observations. If the test statistic is too far from the predicted value then the hypothesis should be rejected in favour of the alternative hypothesis.What constitutes "too far" depends on the presumed distribution of the variable being tested, as well as the degree of certainty required from the test - the power of the test. The latter is a balance between probability of rejecting the hypothesis when it is true and that of not rejecting it when it is false. These outcomes may be weighted according to the risk or costs that a false decision carries.
Quantitative data is data that is relating to, measuring, or measured by the quantity of something, rather than its quality. ex: the number of people in a townQualitative data is data that can be captured that is not numerical in nature ex: the color of people's skin.Thus, essentially the distinction is that quantitative data deals with numbers and numerical values of what is being tested, where as qualitative data deals with the quality of what is being tested.Qualitative data's description cannot be describe in numbers. Quantitative data's description ca only be described in numbers.
To form an explanation for an observation or scientific problem that can be tested by further investigation.
The variable being tested is controlled.

The factor being tested is the dependent variable.
Controlled Experiment :]
controlled variable
The part of the experiment that is changed and tested is called the independent variable. This variable is manipulated or controlled by the researcher to observe its effect on the dependent variable.
Controlled Variable
the variable
The dependent variable varies due to effects of the factor being tested in a controlled experiment.
In a controlled experiment, the one factor that differs is the independent variable. This is the variable that is deliberately changed or manipulated by the researcher in order to observe its effect on the dependent variable. The goal of a controlled experiment is to isolate the impact of the independent variable on the dependent variable while holding all other variables constant.
