Definitions:

Independent Variables

Variables in an experiment or model that are manipulated or changed to assess their effect on dependent variables.

Degrees Of Freedom

A parameter of the t distribution. When the t distribution is used in the computation of an interval estimate of a population mean, the appropriate t distribution has n − 1 degrees of freedom, where n is the size of the sample.

Observations

Individual data points or recorded measures from a study or experiment.

Independent Variables

Factors in a model or experiment that are deliberately altered to study their impacts on outcome variables.
