The independent variable is the variable that is manipulated or changed by the researcher in an experiment. The dependent variable is the variable that is being measured or observed for changes based on the manipulation of the independent variable. Discrete variables refer to variables with finite or distinct values, and extraneous variables are variables that can affect the outcome of the experiment but are not of interest to the researcher.
