RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The factor that is different between the control and experimental groups (in this case, the amount of water) is known as the independent variable. This variable is independent because it does not depend on what happens in the experiment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Variables are measurable characteristics or properties of people or things that can take on different values. In contrast, characteristics that do not vary are constants. A hypothesis states a presumed relationship between two variables in a way that can be tested with empirical data.

Detailed explanation-3: -* Dependent Variable-responding variable, is the factor that may change as a result of changes made in the independent variable. It is the variable being measured.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each controlled experiment looks at the effect of one variable (the independent variable) on some event or condition (the dependent variable). So the independent variable is the factor being tested and the dependent variable is the factor being observed and measured.
