PDF-Extraneous and Confounding Variables and Systematic vs

Another way to think of this is that these are variables the influence the outcome of an experiment though they are not the variab les that are actually of interest These variables are undesirable because they add error to an experiment A major goal. Confounding Variables. If I wanted to prove that smoking causes heart issues, what are some confounding variables?. The object of an experiment is to prove that A causes B.. A confounding variable is anything that could cause change in B, that is not A.. Environmental issues. Naturally occurring variables: usual with several groups of people. Noise. Temperature. Light.
