Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Scientist studying memory want to know whether a set of numbers (24156) or a set of letters (BJRFS) is easier to remember. What would be one constant (or controlled) variable that the scientist would use in this investigation?
A
number of correct answers
B
the length of the sets-5 numbers and 5 letters
C
height of the people being tested
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The independent variable is the one that is changed by the scientist. To insure a fair test, a good experiment has only ONE independent variable. As the scientist changes the independent variable, he or she records the data that they collect.

Detailed explanation-2: -A constant variable, sometimes known as a control variable, is something you keep the same during an experiment.

Detailed explanation-3: -The use of a controlled study is the most effective way of establishing causality between variables. In a controlled study, the sample or population is split in two, with both groups being comparable in almost every way.

Detailed explanation-4: -Variables are important to understand because they are the basic units of the information studied and interpreted in research studies. Researchers carefully analyze and interpret the value(s) of each variable to make sense of how things relate to each other in a descriptive study or what has happened in an experiment.
