|
Causation |
Causation is often confused with correlation, which indicates the extent to which two variables tend to increase or decrease in parallel. However, correlation myself does not imply causation. |
|
Double blind experimentation |
And experiment we are both the researchers in the participants of line to group assignments. |
|
Correlation coefficient |
Is a number from -1 to + 1 that indicates the strength and direction of the relationship between variables. |
|
Independent Variable |

|
Treatment group |
