A dependent Variable- is anything, a condition, or process exposed to or upon
which treatmeants or actions from the independent t variable are applied.
Concepts on Causation
(Estolas and Boquiren)
1. One-to-One Relationship-
One independent variable causes an effect upon one variable.

2. Two-variable Relationship -
B. Two Factor Experiment Prepared By: Group 3

This involves two variables causing an effect upon one variable.

3. Complex Relationship -
1. Determining the Experimental Problem or Topic.

This is a case where two or more variables cause a single effect.
