A variable that is related to the dependent variable, the influence of which needs to be removed is called the $\_\_\_\_\_\_$ variable.

A distinction between basic research and applied research is that basic research has no immediate application at the time it is completed, whereas applied research does.

Non$-$experimental research examines $\_\_\_\_\_\_.$

Doing a replication research study is another form of plagiarism.

Descriptive statistics describe $\_\_\_\_\_\_.$

Which approach is most appropriate for obtaining a deeper understanding of a phenomenon?

Which type of research has immediate application value?

Which one of the following is a synonym for a dependent variable?

A $\_\_\_\_\_\_$ variable is a variable that has an unpredictable impact upon the dependent variable.

The university is encouraging students to be more active on myUnisa. The College of Economic and Management Sciences $($CEMS$)$ has been monitoring the activity of students on the site.

You have been asked to investigate several research questions such as: Research question: Are female students more active on myUnisa than male students? The variables are gender $($female and male$)$ and activity on myUnisa. In this example, activity on myUnisa is the $\_\_\_\_\_\_$ variable.

Identify the dependent variable in the following hypothesis: "There will be a statistically significant difference in graduation rates of at$?$risk high school seniors who participate in an intensive study program as opposed to at$?$risk high school seniors who do not participate in the intensive study program."
