The document lists the key variables involved in an experiment conducted in villages in Borneo, including the independent variable of mosquito bites, the dependent variable of illness/death from malaria, a mediating variable of the local environment/ecosystem, a moderating variable of spraying DDT to kill mosquitoes, control variables of weather, and an extraneous variable of population changes in other local insects and animals.

1 Independent variable Mosquito-bites in Borneo 2 Dependent variable Illness/Death of people because of Malaria from mosquito-bites 3 Mediating variable Environment/Ecosystem of villages of Borneo that consisted of different insects and animals 4 Moderating Variable Spraying DDT around the villages to kill mosquitoes 5 Control variables Weather of Borneo – this experiment could have been done in other season as well and this could have affected the outcome 6 Extraneous variable Population outburst of caterpillars and rats, population decline of wasps, cockroaches, other insects, geckos and cats.
