Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A factor is an independent (or quasi-independent) variable that is manipulated to determine its effect on a dependent variable in an analysis of variance. Therefore, choice B is the correct answer. Choice A, dependent variable, is the variable being measured but not manipulated. Choice C, treatment mean, refers to the average score within a specific level of the independent variable. Choice D, treatment total, refers to the sum of scores within a specific level of the independent variable.
