PRDV200: Communicating with Data

Watch the video to see how to measure dependent variables and different types of variables. In an experiment or study, a dependent variable is the condition or concept being studied. A control variable is a condition that remains the same throughout the study. How can we classify measurements of variables? In this video, you will cover four basic scales of measurement. Pay attention to the definition of each scale, examples, and how or why the scale is used. Think of examples from your own experiences to make a connection to each scale and its use.
