Detailed explanation-1: -An outcome measure (also known as a dependent variable or a response variable) is any variable recorded during a study (e.g. volume of damaged tissue, number of dead cells, specific molecular marker) to assess the effects of a treatment or experimental intervention.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer is c. dependent variables. The measured outcome is believed to be contingent, or dependent, upon the manipulated variable. The DV is measured and compared in the experimental and control groups.
Detailed explanation-3: -Descriptive research and experimental research are both types of quantitative research. Quantitative research refers to the process of analyzing data in its numeric form.
Detailed explanation-4: -A dependent variable is the variable that changes as a result of the independent variable manipulation. It’s the outcome you’re interested in measuring, and it “depends” on your independent variable. In statistics, dependent variables are also called: Response variables (they respond to a change in another variable)
