A sports performance researcher was interested in determining the effect height (short, average, and tall) has on basketball performance during childhood and adolescence. Which is an example of a factor, level?
c and e. A factor is an independent variable such as height or age. Each independent variable (such as height) has a number of levels (such as short or tall). It is important to distinguish between an independent variable, which is the variable that is being deliberately manipulated by a researcher and a dependent variable (such as basketball performance) which is dependent upon an independent variable manipulation.
