In a causal-comparative study, what is the difference between independent variables and dependent variables? independent variables cause the effect measured in the dependent variables dependent variables cause the effect measured in the independent variables dependent variables are those that affect each other; independent variables do not independent variables exist before the study; dependent variables do not

independent variables cause the effect measured in the dependent variables

Step-by-step explanation: In a causal - comparative study, the dependent variables refers to the variable whose changes is being measured or observed. The changes or alteration of the dependent variable is induced by the different values of the independent variable. In causal - comparative study, the different independent variables is assumed to have a direct impact on the output or values of the dependent variable which is measured by the experimenter. Therefore, the independent variable does not change, but causes the observed changes noticed in the dependent variable.

a

step-by-step explanation:

first, let's see what the pattern is.

58 - x = 47

46 - x = 36

x = 9

so this means that the term after 25 is 25 - 9:

the next term in the sequence is 16.
