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.
A correlation by definition, has no dependent and independent variable. It treats both variables equally. And each correlation is only about two variables. However, some people call observational studies correlational even if they use regressions. In a regression the independent variables are the ones you think predict or cause the dependent variable; or they are the ones under your control. Often the DV vs. IV distinction is one of substantive logic, not statistics.
Types of Variables. It is very important when designing a research study that the researcher fully understands the variables in the study in order for the results to be valid and have meaning. A variable is something in the study that can be changed such as a characteristic or a value. The most common types of variables, especially when study cause and effect relationships, are the independent and dependent variables. The independent variable is the one that can be controlled or manipulated.
