<prompt> Fana ka mehlala ea taolo, phekolo le mefuta-futa e ferekanyang.nan  <response>: Instruction in English: Provide examples of control, treatment and confounding variables. . Response in English: A control variable is something that is kept constant throughout an experiment in order to eliminate its potential impact on the results. For example, when studying the effect of different fertilizers on plant growth, the control variable could be the amount of sunlight, water, and soil type that each plant receives. By keeping these variables the same for all plants, the researcher can isolate the effect of the fertilizer on growth.A treatment variable is the variable that is manipulated by the researcher in order to observe its effect on the outcome. In the example above, the treatment variable would be the type of fertilizer used. The researcher would apply different fertilizers to different plants and measure their growth to see if there is any difference.A confounding variable is a variable that can influence the outcome of an experiment, but is not accounted for or controlled by the researcher. For example, if the researcher in the above example did not account for the age of the plants at the start of the experiment, then age could be a confounding variable. If some plants were older than others and grew more, it might seem like the fertilizer was responsible for the difference, when in reality it was the age of the plant. .
