extraneous variables by using random assignment to experimental conditions and sometimes also by incorporating direct control and/or blocking into the design of the experiment. Each of these strategies—random assignment‚ direct control‚ and blocking—is described as follows; A researcher can directly control some extraneous variables. In the calculus test example‚ the textbook used is an extraneous variable because part of the differences in test results might be attributed to this variable. We could

The Case of Variable Laminates Name Grantham University Abstract A plywood manufacturer has tasked me with finding a solution to their problem regarding the inconsistency of their laminate cutting process. In order to find out where the problem lies‚ I will use an experimental design. Experimental design is a formal plan that details the specifies for conducting an experiment‚ such as with responses‚ factors‚ levels‚ blocks‚ treatments and tools to be used (Sower‚ 2011‚ p. 155)
