How much can the owner of a CPA firm make? I'm planning to get the CPA license and start my own small CPA firm. I want to hire bookkeepers and outsource the work overseas to save on overhead costs. I already have a large family of about 80 people, so I believe I can make at least 100 clients in my first year and do their taxes.
Answer Wiki. There are no independent variables in observational studies. In an observational study, the researcher compares subjects against a control group and comes to a conclusion. Hypothetical example: if we have a research study comparing the risk of developing liver cancer between (1) people who drink some alcohol daily, and (2) teetotalers.
Dependent and Independent Variables. The key to designing any experiment is to look at what research variables could affect the outcome. There are many types of variable but the most important, for the vast majority of research methods, are the independent and dependent variables. A researcher must determine which variable needs to be manipulated to generate quantifiable results. The independent variable is the core of the experiment and is isolated and manipulated by the researcher. The dependent variable is the measurable outcome of this manipulation, the results of the experimental design.
