(4) Using an example, explain why some variables can only be measured, not manipulated. (1
point)
Solution
Variables are of many types and are used differently in different situations and experiments.
In some experiments like studying cause-and-effect relationship, variables can be manipulated
and then observed for their behaviour.
However, in certain experiments like correlational studies, variables are strictly measured and
cannot be manipulated. E.g. studying correlation between speed and distance. Even if one is
manipulated, the other variable will show irregular and distracting trends, signalling
manipulation or human error.
