Great explanation of explanatory (independent, cause) and response
(dependent, effect) variables. Deeply appreciate the time and effort you
have invested in creating this video. Thanks profusely!

Statistics 02: Response and Explanatory Variables
In this lecture, I show how to get started with a statistical data analysis. The most important thing to decide is: "What are the response and the explanatory ...
hi can kindly help me solve this question. Outsourcing by airlines.
Airlines have increasingly outsourced the maintenance of their planes to
other companies. Critics say that the maintenance may be less carefully
done,so that outsourcing creates a safety hazard.As evidence,they point to
government data on percent of major maintenance outsourced and percent of
flight delays blamed on the airline (often due to maintenance problems):2
Make a scatterplot that shows how delays depend on outsourcing.
In number 2, you are also manipulating the sunflower plants to see how much
they will or will not grow so couldn't they also be considered an
independent variable?
Not in this case. The sunflower plants themselves are not being manipulated directly, it is the concentration of salt water that is being given to the sunflower plants that is being manipulated. The sunflower plants are control variables --> they are factors that could be changed (ex: using different species of plants) but are not in this experiment. If you did an experiment comparing how different types of plants (ex:sunflower, rose, tulip) grew in the same salt water solution, then the type of plant could be considered an independent variable. I hope this clarifies it for you.
hi! This is a great tutorial! I think this should help me in my psychology
class because we also have to learn about independent and dependent
variables... Is this also the same as talking about cause and effect?
thanks!
I'm glad it was helpful. Cause and effect is one way to think about independent and dependent variables. Most experiments are run in order to determine if one variable (independent) actually has an effect on another predetermined variable (dependent) and what that effect might actually be. The dependent variable is also sometimes called the "response" variable because it may respond to changes in the independent variable.

Measurement error in independent variable - part 1
This video explains the intuition behind why measurement error in the independent variable leads to bias in the estimation of a regressor coefficient. Check out ...
