sample size and defining variables

hey does ne1 have the last key question before the Unit 4 key question for hsb4m?

a) record the sample size and the defining variables of the sample.

I moved your post to its own thread; please start new threads for new topics. Also, please give some feedback to other people about their essays. :)

I assume you are reading an article about a research study. Do you have a text book that explains sample, variable, etc? The sample size is the number of people/things being studied. Lots of info about defining variables is here: allpsych.com/researchmethods/definingvariables.html

Or is that you have to design an experiment of your own? The last part of the post sort of reads like it is part of a set of instructions for conducting an experiment, even though you mention a question in the first part. Please clarify.
