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.
1 Independent Variables are changes that occur in an experiment that are directly caused by the experimenter (you.) 2  Dependent Variables are changes that occur due to independent variables.  A Controlled Variable is anything else that could influence the dependent variables.
