This type of variable, sometimes called the "outcome variable," is the variable that is measured and observed.
What is the Dependent Variable?

What is repetition?
200
The following statements are examples of this.

What is different?

(Make your own inference based on this data.)

This part is the independent variable.
What is the color of crickets?

What is both repetition AND replication?

This aspect of a conclusion is missing from the following.
"My hypothesis states that if I start running later in the afternoon, my mile time will be faster. The evidence supports my hypothesis. I believe this is tied to the hotter temperature in the early afternoon air making it harder to breathe."
What is the Evidence?
